EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a scene straight out of biblical times. Titled "Entry animals Noah ark three men follow quadrupeds" this artwork by Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, also known as Il Grechetto, transports us to the iconic story of Noah's Ark. In this etching created around 1650-55, we witness three men diligently following a parade of various quadrupeds towards the massive ark in the background. The artist masterfully captures their expressions of awe and determination as they fulfill their duty to save these creatures from impending doom. As our eyes wander across the composition, we notice birds striding confidently alongside the procession, adding an element of grace and harmony to this chaotic moment. In addition, another male figure can be seen pointing towards something beyond our view, perhaps guiding his companions or drawing attention to an important detail. Measuring approximately 8 1/8 x 15 7/8 inches (20.7 x 40.4 cm), this print is a testament to Castiglione's skillful technique and attention to detail. His use of etching brings depth and texture to each animal's fur or feathers while capturing the grandeur of nature surrounding them. With its rich historical context and artistic brilliance, this piece serves as a reminder of humanity's responsibility towards preserving life on Earth – a timeless message that resonates even today.
