EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases an exquisite allegory of marriage, delicately placed within a graceful cartouche adorned with an array of vibrant flowers, lush plants, and fragments of architectural beauty. At the heart of this enchanting scene, a man and woman are united in matrimony while being honored by two cherubic putti guided by an angelic presence. Their hands tenderly touch above a burning sacrificial column, symbolizing their eternal bond. Surrounding the couple are allegorical figures and more playful putti, who lovingly drape them with garlands made of delicate blossoms. In the distance stands a majestic classical building where additional putti fly around holding both a cornucopia overflowing with abundance and the eternity symbol - a snake biting its own tail. On the right side of this intricate composition, Juno is gracefully pulled through the air in her chariot by magnificent peacocks. Meanwhile, at the bottom of the cartouche sits Amor himself on a shell armed with his bow and arrow ready to strike love into hearts. The top left and right corners are held by two charming putti embracing cartouches inscribed with words such as "Castitimrimoniale" "Fede maritale" and "Matrimonio" - all representing different aspects or virtues associated with marriage. Created between 1745-1800 in Amsterdam by Christian Friedrich Fritzsch using paper etching techniques, this remarkable artwork captures not only the beauty but also embodies profound symbolism surrounding love's most sacred union.
