This print showcases the "Great Lansquenet Standard Bearer 1658 Mezzotint" by Artokoloro, a true masterpiece that transports us back to the year 1658. The artwork depicts an imposing figure, the standard bearer of the renowned Great Lansquenet regiment. Standing tall and proud, he holds his banner high, symbolizing strength and valor. Created in mezzotint technique during its first state, this print measures 11 x 7 7/8 inches (279 x 20 cm), capturing every intricate detail with precision. It is a testament to the skill and artistry of Pietro Muttoni, also known as Della Vecchia, an Italian artist from Venice who lived between 1602-1678. The subject of this artwork is Prince Rupert of the Rhine (1619-1682), son of exiled Frederick of Bohemia. He played a vital role in history as one of the earliest practitioners and contributors to the development of mezzotints. In fact, it was in Westminster where Rupert met Ludwig von Siegen in 1654 -the inventor of this unique printing technique. This particular piece represents Rupert's attempt at creating his own mezzotints in 1657. Its historical significance cannot be overstated; it not only showcases artistic mastery but also sheds light on important advancements made during that era. The Liszt Collection has done justice to this extraordinary artwork by Artokoloro through their
