EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us to a mythical realm where nature and fantasy intertwine. Titled "Sleeping Nymph Dog Spied Satyr Quam Meminisse Juvat" it is part of a larger series called "Stage of Emblems opened at the service of painters image holders etc". In this particular print, we are presented with a mesmerizing scene. A naked nymph lies peacefully in slumber, her delicate form illuminated by soft moonlight. By her side, a loyal dog keeps watch over her dreams, embodying loyalty and protection. However, unbeknownst to the sleeping nymph, she is being observed by an mischievous satyr. This half-man half-goat creature embodies primal desires and curiosity as he spies upon the vulnerable beauty before him. The artist behind this enchanting creation is Arnold Houbraken from Dordrecht. Through his masterful use of etching on paper, he brings to life this moment frozen in time - capturing both the innocence of sleep and the hidden depths within our subconscious. As we gaze upon this evocative artwork, we are reminded of themes such as unconsciousness and vulnerability that resonate across time and cultures. It serves as a reminder that even in our most tranquil moments, there may be unseen forces observing us with intrigue or desire. This remarkable print is just one piece among many in a three-part series consisting of 23 prints in total. Its intricate details invite us into an otherworldly narrative
