EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Allegory with combat between putto satyr and child as virtue and vice" transports us to a realm where symbolism reigns supreme. Created by Pieter de Bailliu I and Peter van Lint in the 17th century, this artwork is a visual representation of the eternal battle between good and evil. In this allegorical scene, we witness virtue personified as a valiant child engaging in combat with vice embodied by a mischievous satyr. The putti, cupids, amores, amoretti - celestial beings that represent love - watch over the intense confrontation from above. Each character carries distinct attributes: virtue clings onto solid laurel wreaths while vice grasps at its own treacherous weapons. Mercury makes an appearance holding his wand caduceus, symbolizing communication and commerce. A rooster stands nearby, reminding us of Latin signs often associated with timekeeping. The intricate details within this print invite contemplation on moral choices and human nature itself. Quint Lox's skillful capture allows us to appreciate the depth of meaning behind each element portrayed here. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, let us reflect on our own battles against temptation and strive towards embodying virtues that lead to personal growth and enlightenment.
