EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the dramatic scene of The Fall of the Magician Hermogenes, originally painted by Pieter Brueghel I in 1565. The intricate details and rich symbolism in this piece are brought to life through the skilled copper engraving of Pieter van der Heyden. The allegorical tale depicted here is a powerful reminder of the triumph of good over evil, as Saint James the Great confronts and defeats the deceitful magician Hermogenes. This biblical narrative from Jacobus de Voragine's Legenda Aurea is masterfully rendered with a blend of mythology and early Netherlandish art. The intensity of emotion on Saint James' face as he stands victorious against his adversary is palpable, drawing viewers into the epic struggle between light and darkness. The composition expertly guides our gaze through every detail, from the swirling robes to the intricate background elements that add depth to this timeless story. As we contemplate this masterpiece, we are reminded not only of the artistic genius behind its creation but also of the enduring power of storytelling in shaping our understanding of morality and faith. Van der Heyden's interpretation breathes new life into Brueghel's original work, inviting us to reflect on themes that resonate across centuries.
