EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of "Allegory Fame" a masterpiece painted by Philips de Flines between 1675 and 1683. In this stunning artwork, the middle female personification of Fame gracefully sits on a majestic throne, holding a sphere delicately on her lap. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of paint. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn upstairs where Faam blows her trumpet with great vigor. This symbolic act represents the proclamation of fame and recognition that echoes throughout time. The series from which this allegory belongs consists of five remarkable paintings executed in grisaille technique. These monochromatic works bring forth an ethereal quality that enhances their timeless appeal. Commissioned for the Messina house on Herengracht, these allegories explore various aspects of fame - Fama buona (good reputation), Fama chiara (clear renown), and more. Each abstract concept is beautifully represented by female figures, showcasing their significance in society. Philips de Flines collaborated with Gerard de Lairesse to create these masterpieces in the Northern Netherlands during a period when art flourished. Their use of oil paint on canvas brings depth and richness to each composition. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate the grandeur and artistic brilliance captured within "Allegory Fame". It serves as a testament to human creativity and reminds us of our eternal quest for recognition and immortality through achievement.
