EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a powerful moment from the History of the Maccabees series titled "Mattatias kills Jew envoy king". In this scene, Mattatias, driven by his unwavering dedication to the law of God, is depicted slaying a Jew who intended to make sacrifices on the pagan altar in Modein. Alongside him lies the lifeless body of the king's envoy. Created by Johannes Wierix in Antwerp around 1574 or 1579, this engraving showcases his exceptional artistic skills. The Thesaurus sacrarum historiaru [m] veteris testame [ n] ti elega [n] tissueimis imaginibus expressu [m] excelle [n] tissueimoru [m] in hac arte viroru[m] opera: now[c primu][m] in luce[m], it is part of an album that also includes another significant event where Mattathias demolishes an altar and prevents offerings to pagan gods (1 Maccabees 2:23-26). Below this performance, there is a reference written in Latin to the corresponding Bible text found in 1 Makk. 2:14. This print serves as a testament to Mattatias' unwavering commitment and bravery against those who defied their faith. This historical artwork not only portrays an important event but also highlights Wierix's talent for capturing intense emotions and intricate details through engraving techniques. It stands as a remarkable piece within the Liszt Collection, showcasing both religious devotion and artistic excellence.
