EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait print by Quint Lox from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back to the 17th century and introduced to Ismael Bullialdus, a renowned French astronomer and mathematician. The artist skillfully captures Bullialdus' intellectual prowess and deep contemplation through his intense gaze and thoughtful expression. Standing beside him is Pieter van Schuppen, the talented painter who immortalized this moment in history. Van Schuppen's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush, bringing out the intricate features of both Bullialdus and Lodewijk XIV, the King of France at that time. The composition is further enhanced by symbolic elements such as the caduceus - a symbol associated with Hermes, the Greek god of communication - representing Bullialdus' role as a librarian priest. A beautifully designed cartouche frames their faces, adding an air of elegance and importance to this significant encounter between these influential figures. This remarkable artwork not only pays homage to Ismael Bullialdus but also serves as a testament to his contributions in advancing our understanding of astronomy and mathematics during one of history's most intellectually vibrant periods. Quint Lox's masterful interpretation allows us to appreciate both the historical significance and artistic brilliance captured within this stunning portrait print.
