EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases an intriguing artwork titled "Scene Warning Venereal Disease Circle Center". Created between 1580 and 1600, this engraving is a remarkable piece of art that measures approximately 5 5/16 by 3/8 inches (13.5 by 13.6 cm). The artist behind this thought-provoking work is Theodor de Bry, a Netherlandish master who lived from 1528 to 1598 in Frankfurt. It was Johann Sadeler from Brussels who reproduced de Bry's original creation, while Christoph Schwarz from Munich added his touch to the piece. The allegorical set depicts a mesmerizing landscape where various figures engage in symbolic actions. In the foreground, a man plays the lute near a fountain adorned with Venus and Cupid sculptures. Another figure gestures towards the left side of the scene while holding a spear. Amidst this intricate composition, we can observe other characters: one standing and drinking from a stream, another crouching down, and even a dog urinating nearby. Although it is essential not to mention commercial use when referring to this print or its subject matter, it remains undeniable that this artwork holds historical significance as it serves as both an artistic expression and an educational tool regarding venereal diseases during that era. Overall, "Scene Warning Venereal Disease Circle Center" invites viewers into an enigmatic world filled with symbolism and hidden meanings waiting to be explored.
