EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Allegory of Marriage" by Pieter van den Berge, we are transported back to the 17th century Dutch society. The scene unfolds with a civil marriage ceremony taking place at an intricately decorated altar. The bride and groom stand side by side, their hearts filled with anticipation and love. Surrounding them is a group of figures representing various aspects of marriage. A dutch virgin symbolizes purity and innocence, while water nymphs embody the fluidity and ever-changing nature of relationships. Amor, the god of love, stands nearby holding a burning torch that ignites the hearts of those present. This allegorical representation beautifully captures the essence of marriage - two souls reaching out to one another in unity and commitment. The hand extended towards each other signifies their willingness to embark on this lifelong journey together. Pieter van den Berge's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, as he skillfully portrays emotions through his subjects' expressions and body language. This artwork serves as a timeless reminder that marriage is not just about two individuals but also encompasses broader themes such as love, devotion, and sacrifice. Quint Lox's expertly captured print allows us to appreciate this masterpiece from the Liszt Collection in all its glory. It invites us to reflect on our own understanding of matrimony while marveling at the artistic genius behind it all.
