EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a remarkable artwork titled "Angel Staying Arm Abraham". Created in 1552, this etching engraving by Battista Franco captures a powerful biblical scene with exquisite detail and precision. The second state of this print is presented on a sheet measuring 14 x 10 7/16 inches (355 x 265 cm), trimmed to highlight the intricate platemark. The image portrays an angel intervening as Abraham prepares to sacrifice his son Isaac, as described in the Book of Genesis. The artist's skillful execution brings forth a sense of tension and emotion, capturing the pivotal moment when divine intervention alters the course of history. Through delicate lines and shading techniques, Franco masterfully depicts both human vulnerability and celestial grace. Hailing from Venice around 1510-1561, Battista Franco was renowned for his contributions to Italian Renaissance art. This particular piece exemplifies his ability to convey profound narratives through visual storytelling. The Liszt Collection has preserved this significant work, allowing viewers to appreciate its historical significance while marveling at its artistic brilliance.
