EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us to ancient Rome, where mythology and history intertwine. In this artwork attributed to Giulio Bonasone, we are presented with a mesmerizing scene featuring Mars and Rhea Silvia at its center. Mars, the Roman god of war, stands tall and powerful as he holds both shield and sword in his hands. His commanding presence exudes strength and valor. Meanwhile, Rhea Silvia lies peacefully asleep beside him, unaware of the divine energy that surrounds her. In the upper left corner of the image, we catch a glimpse of Apollo riding his chariot through the heavens. This celestial element adds an ethereal touch to an otherwise grounded composition. The engraving technique used in this print brings out intricate details on every inch of its surface. The sheet measures 11 1/4 x 16 7/8 inches (28.6 x 42.8 cm), making it a visually striking piece that demands attention. As we admire this artwork, we are reminded of Bonasone's talent for capturing mythical narratives with finesse and precision. His active years in Rome and Bologna during the mid-16th century allowed him to leave behind a legacy filled with masterful prints like this one. This print is not intended for commercial use but rather serves as a testament to Bonasone's artistic prowess and our fascination with ancient mythologies brought vividly to life through artistry.
