EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching, titled "Printed Work of the Latin Author Valerius Maximus Presented to King Louis XI" transports us back in time to the year 1860. Created by the talented French artist Charles Meryon, this exquisite piece captures a significant historical moment with great attention to detail. The scene depicted showcases a grand presentation taking place at the court of King Louis XI. The central focus is on an elegantly bound book, representing the printed work of renowned Latin author Valerius Maximus. This precious literary treasure is being ceremoniously presented to the king himself, surrounded by his esteemed courtiers. Meryon's masterful use of etching techniques brings life and depth to each figure in this composition. From the intricate details on their garments to their expressive faces filled with awe and admiration, every element contributes to creating a sense of grandeur and importance. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we are transported into a world where knowledge was cherished and celebrated. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, books held immense power and were valued as symbols of wisdom and enlightenment. This remarkable artwork not only pays homage to two influential figures - Valerius Maximus and King Louis XI - but also celebrates human achievements in literature during an era marked by intellectual curiosity and cultural progress.
