EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print titled "Power Women Poet Virgil Suspended Basket 1512" created by Lucas van Leyden in the early 16th century, we are transported to a world where women hold immense power and influence. The image depicts a scene filled with symbolism and mystery. At the center of the composition, we see a basket suspended high above the ground, defying gravity. Inside it stands the renowned Roman poet Virgil, known for his epic works such as "The Aeneid". This portrayal suggests that even great men can be subject to the authority of powerful women. Surrounding Virgil's precarious position are several strong female figures. They exude confidence and command attention with their regal attire and commanding postures. Their presence signifies not only their individual strength but also highlights the collective power of women throughout history. The artist's skillful use of woodcut technique adds depth and texture to this intriguing artwork. The intricate details bring each character to life while emphasizing their distinct personalities. This print from Liszt Collection serves as a reminder that women have always played significant roles in shaping society, often exerting influence behind closed doors or through unconventional means. It challenges traditional notions of gender roles and celebrates female empowerment. Whether displayed in an art gallery or cherished within your personal collection, this thought-provoking piece invites contemplation on themes of power dynamics, gender equality, and societal norms that continue to resonate today.
