EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Allegory of Perception" created by Jan Saenredam and Johannes Janssonius between 1595 and 1600, we are transported to a world where art, science, and introspection intertwine. The mirror serves as the focal point, reflecting not only the physical appearance but also the inner thoughts and contemplations of its subjects. A model sits gracefully on her knees before an easel while a bespectacled artist meticulously paints her likeness. Outdoors, surrounded by tools and instruments used for scientific research, they engage in a profound exploration of perception itself. A cat playfully observes their endeavors from afar. Meanwhile, a doctor examines a urinal with utmost seriousness, symbolizing his quest for knowledge through observation. Men can be seen engrossed in measuring and calculating using astrolabes, compasses, globes - all representing their pursuit of understanding the universe. Amidst this scholarly atmosphere stands an eagle holding Latin inscriptions that warn against evil intentions disguised as innocent fun. It reminds viewers to approach perception with caution and discernment. The naked woman sitting beside the mirror gazes at herself with curiosity while several experiences unfold around her. This allegorical scene invites us to question our own perceptions - both external and internal - urging us to embrace multiple perspectives in our search for truth. Quint Lox's masterful capture of this thought-provoking artwork from the Liszt Collection allows us to delve into the intricate relationship between artistry
