EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a mesmerizing scene depicting Absyrtus' limbs being presented to his father, wrapped in cloth. The artwork, created by René Boyvin, a French artist from Angers around 1563, is an engraving on a plate measuring approximately 6 5/16 x 9 1/8 inches (16.232 cm). The composition of this piece is truly remarkable as it portrays Absyrtus' father standing on the deck of a ship surrounded by twisting male figures and various elements such as fruits, earth, scrollwork, and animals. These intricate details add depth and complexity to the overall narrative. The image belongs to a series illustrating the tale of Jason's conquest for the Golden Fleece. This particular moment captures the aftermath of Absyrtus' tragic fate at the hands of his own sister Medea during their journey with Jason. Enclosed within a rectilinear frame, this engraving evokes both tension and emotion through its skillful execution and attention to detail. It serves as a visual representation of an important episode in Greek mythology that has captivated audiences for centuries.
