EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, Quint Lox pays homage to the renowned Dutch artist Maerten van Heemskerck's masterpiece "David before Saul". Created in 1556, this engraving depicts a pivotal moment from the biblical story of David and Saul. The composition beautifully captures the intensity of the scene as David stands confidently before King Saul. The young shepherd boy is depicted with an air of determination and courage, holding his slingshot firmly in hand. His gaze meets that of Saul, who appears both intrigued and perplexed by this audacious youth. Heemskerck's meticulous attention to detail is faithfully reproduced in Lox's photograph. Every line and contour are expertly captured, showcasing the intricate etchings that bring depth and texture to the image. The play of light and shadow adds a dramatic flair to the overall composition, enhancing its emotional impact. Lox's choice to recreate such a significant artwork speaks volumes about their appreciation for art history and their desire to preserve these timeless masterpieces through photography. By immortalizing Heemskerck's work through their lens, Lox invites viewers into a dialogue between past and present—a visual conversation that transcends time. This print from Liszt Collection serves as a testament to both Heemskerck's artistic genius and Quint Lox's skillful interpretation. It offers art enthusiasts an opportunity to own a piece inspired by one of history’s most celebrated artists while also honoring their own unique vision as photographers themselves.
