EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a mesmerizing artwork titled "Seven Liberal Arts Persecuted Pluto Bacchus ca". Created in 1554, this etching by Jost Amman depicts a fascinating scene filled with symbolism and movement. In the center of the composition, we see a segment of a circle representing the seven liberal arts. However, they are not at peace but rather fleeing for their lives as they are chased by a menacing satyr playing the bagpipe. This chaotic pursuit adds an element of tension to the artwork. On the left side, Bacchus can be seen riding on a boar, symbolizing his association with wildness and revelry. Meanwhile, on the far left stands another figure blindfolded and wielding a trident. This mysterious character represents Pluto, further emphasizing chaos and disorder. The intricate details captured in this etching highlight Amman's exceptional skill as an artist. The delicate lines and shading bring life to each element within this complex composition. Measuring 2 1/2 inches by 11 11/16 inches (64 cm x 297 cm), this print allows viewers to appreciate every nuance of Amman's work up close. It is truly an exquisite piece that invites contemplation about themes such as persecution, power dynamics, and artistic expression during that era.
