EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases the intricate artwork titled "Continence Scipio verso Allegory Nature Generosity". The image captures a momentous scene where Scipio, surrounded by his loyal soldiers, reunites two fiances. Onlookers, both men and women, eagerly observe this heartwarming reunion. The backdrop of the artwork features a stunning landscape on the edge of a forest adorned with ancient ruins and scenes of battle. This adds depth to the narrative unfolding in the foreground. On the reverse side of this remarkable piece is an allegory depicting nature's influence on human behavior. A naked man stands before personifications of Nature and Law, who guide him towards exhibiting continence - specifically demonstrated through Scipio's act of restoring a captive woman to her bridegroom Allucius. As Allucius kneels before him in gratitude, he receives a generous wedding gift from the bride's parents as ransom for her release. The female personification representing Nature is depicted with multiple breasts symbolizing fertility and abundance while wearing a city crown. The figure representing Law holds tables of law signifying justice and order. Created by Karel van Mander in 1600 using copper metal and oil paint, this masterpiece measures 44 cm in height and 79 cm in width. It beautifully encapsulates themes such as love, generosity, loyalty, and harmony between humans and nature.
