EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a fable that has stood the test of time. In this image, a mouse and a bull face each other in an intense encounter. The fable tells the tale of how a tiny mouse manages to bite the mighty bull on its paw before swiftly retreating into its hole, leaving the bull bewildered. The moral behind this story is profound: it teaches us that even the most powerful rulers can be hindered by the cleverness and resourcefulness of their subjects. It reminds us that intelligence and wit can triumph over sheer strength. Created by Aegidius Sadeler in Praag between 1608 and 1679, this etching on paper measures approximately 94mm in height and 113mm in width. The intricate details captured by Sadeler bring life to these mythical characters, emphasizing their contrasting sizes and highlighting their expressions of surprise and cunning. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of the enduring appeal of fables throughout history. They continue to captivate our imagination while imparting timeless lessons about human nature. This particular piece serves as a testament to Sadeler's artistic talent as well as his ability to convey complex narratives through visual storytelling
