EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to a grand palace hall in Italy during the 16th century. The focal point of the image is a man sitting gracefully in front of an exquisite statue depicting Bacchus, the wine god. His posture exudes both reverence and contemplation as he gazes upon this symbol of indulgence and pleasure. Surrounding him are four men, also seated, forming an audience for what appears to be an important audition or perhaps a ruler giving audience. Their expressions range from curiosity to admiration, indicating their engagement with whatever spectacle is unfolding before them. Adding a touch of charm and liveliness to the scene is a loyal dog at the feet of one of the men on audience. Its presence suggests that even amidst formal settings, there is room for companionship and loyalty. The engraving on paper beautifully captures every intricate detail within this historical moment. It measures an impressive 356 mm in height by 491 mm in width, emphasizing its significance as both art and artifact. Battista Franco's name is mentioned on the object itself, hinting at his involvement in creating this masterpiece. This remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into Italian Renaissance culture and reminds us of how art has always been intertwined with power, beauty, and human connection throughout history.
