EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a stunning design knife handle scene titled "Christ Joining Man". Created between 1580 and 1600, this engraving by Johann Theodor de Bry is a true masterpiece of Netherlandish art. The rectangular blackwork sheet measures approximately 2.5 x 8 inches (6.7 x 10.2 cm) and features an intricate central design that immediately draws the viewer's attention. Against a blackwork background adorned with grotesques, we see Christ joining a man and woman in what appears to be a profound moment of connection. At the bottom of the image, flanking the central design, are two engraved blades that add an extra layer of detail to this remarkable piece. A crouching satyr playing a flute adds an element of whimsy and intrigue to the composition. The artist's skillful use of engraving techniques brings depth and texture to every line, making this artwork truly come alive. It is worth noting that some passages from Matthew 19 can be found within this enchanting scene. Whether you appreciate religious symbolism or simply admire exceptional craftsmanship, this print offers a glimpse into the artistic brilliance of Johann Theodor de Bry during his time in Strasbourg (1561-1623). With its timeless beauty and historical significance, it would make for an exquisite addition to any art collection or display space.
