EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a historical moment captured in art. Titled "Benedict Nursia Orders Destruction Temple Apollo" this piece takes us back to the mid-17th to early 18th century, depicting an important event at Monte Cassino. The image is rendered using various artistic techniques such as pen, brown and black ink, brushwork, gray chalk, white gouache, watercolor, and blue accents. The artist behind this masterpiece is Jan Erasmus Quellinus, a talented Flemish painter hailing from Antwerp (1634–1715) but later settling in Mechelen. The scene depicted portrays Benedict Nursia giving orders for the destruction of the Temple of Apollo. This significant historical event symbolizes the triumph of Christianity over pagan beliefs during that era. The level of detail and precision in Quellinus' work truly brings this moment to life on paper. Measuring approximately 22 x 14 15/16 inches (559 x 38 cm), this print captures attention with its intricate composition and vibrant colors. It serves as a testament to both Quellinus' skill as an artist and his ability to convey powerful narratives through his work. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from centuries past, we are transported back in time and reminded of the rich history that shaped our world today.
