EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, titled "Fable of the devil and the criminal" we are transported back to 1665 through the masterful artistry of Dirk Stoop and John Ogilby. The fable, inspired by Aesop's timeless tales, unfolds before our eyes as a prisoner stands shackled in heavy fetters within a dimly lit prison cell. The central figure is none other than the devil himself, depicted with menacing horns and an eerie aura surrounding him. With a mischievous grin on his face, he carries a bundle that symbolizes the sins committed by the criminal. As if invoking ancient demons from folklore, he wears old shoes that hint at his cunning nature. Stoop's intricate illustration captures every detail with precision - from the worn-out walls of the prison to each link in the prisoner's chains. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to this thought-provoking scene, leaving us pondering over themes of temptation, punishment, and redemption. Quint Lox's expertly printed version allows us to appreciate every nuance of Stoop and Ogilby's collaboration. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and transport us into different worlds while provoking contemplation about human nature. This print from Liszt Collection is not just an image; it is an invitation to delve into centuries-old narratives that continue to resonate today.
