EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported to a world of whimsy and folklore. The image is an etching titled "After Jean-Baptiste Mallet, La gageure des trois commeres: Le poirier" skillfully recreated by the talented artist Quint Lox. The scene depicts a legendary wager among three wise old women, known as "trois commeres" who challenge each other to make a pear tree grow in the most unlikely of places. With determination and magic at their disposal, they weave spells and incantations around the barren tree trunk, coaxing it into blossoming with luscious pears. Lox's attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched onto the paper seems alive with energy and movement. The intricate patterns on the women's dresses reflect their mystical powers while conveying their distinct personalities. This artwork serves as a testament to both Mallet's original vision and Lox's artistic prowess in faithfully capturing its essence. It invites viewers into a realm where imagination reigns supreme, reminding us that even seemingly impossible feats can be accomplished through perseverance and belief. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we find ourselves captivated by its magical allure—a visual feast for those seeking inspiration or simply wishing to escape reality for just a moment.
