EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us to a world of mythical triumph and unwavering chastity. In this enchanting scene, majestic unicorns gracefully draw a magnificent carriage adorned with intricate details. Seated next to the carriage is a female figure, exuding elegance and poise, while an enigmatic sphinx stands nearby holding a standard. As we delve deeper into the image, we witness vestal virgins walking alongside the carriage towards a round temple dedicated to Vesta, the Roman goddess of hearth and home. This fascinating artwork belongs to a series of triumphs inspired by Petrarch's writings. The engraving itself was created by Georg Pencz, a talented German artist from Wroclaw who thrived during the 16th century in Leipzig. The level of detail in this piece is truly remarkable; every line and curve meticulously etched onto paper measuring 6 5/8 x 9 11/16 inches (or approximately 169 x 246 cm). While it is important not to mention commercial use or any specific company associated with this print, one cannot help but be captivated by its beauty and symbolism. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a window into another era where imagination reigns supreme. Whether displayed in an art gallery or cherished within your personal collection, this extraordinary engraving invites you to embark on an unforgettable journey through time and mythological wonderment.
