EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Embracing Couple Mercury Lara" created by Dutch artist Jan Harmensz Muller between 1588 and 1594, we are transported to a moment of intimate connection. The artwork, measuring 18.7 x 21.7 cm, showcases the artist's mastery in using black chalk, pen and brown ink, brush with brown wash, and white gouache on light brown paper. The scene depicts an embrace between two figures identified as Mercury and Lara. Their bodies intertwine gracefully as they lean into each other with tenderness and passion. Muller skillfully captures the delicate details of their facial expressions—their eyes locked in a gaze that speaks volumes about their deep affection for one another. The use of heightened white gouache adds a luminous quality to the composition, enhancing the ethereal atmosphere surrounding the couple. The choice of medium allows for subtle shading and texture variations that bring depth to their forms. Muller's work invites us to contemplate themes such as love, desire, and human connection across time periods. Through his artistry, he immortalizes this intimate moment shared by Mercury and Lara—a testament to the enduring power of love throughout history. This print from Liszt Collection is not just a mere reproduction; it is an opportunity to own a piece of artistic brilliance that transcends commercial value—an exquisite portrayal of emotion frozen in time.
