EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a remarkable piece of art titled "Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae Eight Women Sacrificing". Created in the 16th century, this engraving depicts a scene filled with symbolism and intrigue. The sheet measures approximately 9 5/8 x 12 5/8 inches (245 x 321 cm), making it an impressive display of craftsmanship. The artwork is attributed to Cornelis Bos, a renowned Netherlandish artist from Hertogenbosch who lived between ca. 1510 and before 1566. However, some elements suggest that Lambert Lombard, another influential artist of the time (1506-1566) may have also contributed to its creation. In this image, eight women are shown engaged in a sacrificial ritual. Their expressions convey both solemnity and devotion as they offer their prayers or tributes to Priapus, the god associated with fertility and gardens in Roman mythology. The composition is richly detailed, showcasing intricate patterns on their garments and meticulously rendered facial features. This print allows viewers to appreciate the fine details of this historical artwork while offering insights into religious practices during the Renaissance period. It serves as a testament to the skillful techniques employed by artists like Bos and Lombard during this era.
