EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness a mesmerizing scene of ancient wisdom. The image showcases "Sibyl reading a book" by Ugo da Carpi, an Italian artist who flourished during the Renaissance period. The Cumaean Sibyl takes center stage, her full-length figure elegantly seated and facing towards the right. Bathed in chiaroscuro lighting, she is engrossed in her book, illuminated by the soft glow of a torch held delicately by a child beside her. This juxtaposition of light and shadow creates a dramatic effect that adds depth and mystery to the composition. With its retro-styled vintage charm, this woodcut print allows us to delve into history and immerse ourselves in the world of classical mythology. The Cumaean Sibyl was renowned for her prophetic abilities and played a significant role in ancient Roman folklore. Ugo da Carpi's masterful technique brings out intricate details through his use of color within this small-scale artwork measuring 9 x 5 cm. Each stroke captures not only the physical beauty but also evokes emotions that resonate with viewers across generations. This art piece serves as both an aesthetic delight and an invitation to explore our fascination with history, mythologies, and timeless tales passed down through centuries.
