EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Two Fauns Carrying a Child in a Basket" created between 1513 and 1515 by the talented Italian artist Marcantonio Raimondi, we are transported to a mythical world filled with enchantment and wonder. The print depicts two fauns, half-human and half-goat creatures from ancient Roman mythology, delicately carrying a child in a basket. The intricate details of Raimondi's engraving bring these fantastical beings to life. Their muscular bodies are adorned with leaves and vines, symbolizing their connection to nature. With gentle expressions on their faces, they carefully cradle the child as if protecting it from harm. The composition exudes harmony and balance; the figures seem suspended in time as they navigate through an ethereal landscape. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the scene, enhancing its dreamlike quality. Raimondi's mastery of engraving is evident in every stroke of his burin. His skillful technique allows for fine lines that capture even the smallest nuances of expression and texture. This print serves as a testament to his talent as one of Italy's most renowned printmakers during the Renaissance period. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Liszt Collection, we cannot help but be drawn into its mystical allure. It invites us to ponder the mysteries of ancient mythology while marveling at Raimondi's artistic prowess that has stood the test of time.
