EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a mesmerizing artwork titled "Fiducia seated woman holds book banner turning". Created by Maerten de Vos in 1579, this engraving depicts a scene filled with symbolism and allegory. In the image, we see Fiducia, a seated woman who exudes confidence and strength. She holds a book in one hand, symbolizing knowledge and wisdom. With her head turned away, she seems to be contemplating something beyond our view. The presence of a bare-breasted woman lying at her feet adds an intriguing element to the composition. The assemblage of masks on the ground suggests that Fiducia is surrounded by various personas or disguises. This could represent the complexities of human nature or perhaps allude to different virtues conquering vices. Measuring approximately 5 3/8 x 3 9/16 inches (136.9 cm), this exquisite print was created by Johann Sadeler, a renowned Netherlandish artist from Brussels during the late 16th century. It is believed to have been produced in Venice after Maerten de Vos' original work in Antwerp. As part of the Liszt Collection's diverse range of prints, this piece offers viewers an opportunity to delve into art history and explore themes such as femininity, knowledge, and self-assurance.
