EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Allegorical view of Asia" takes us back to the early 20th century. Created in 1926 by the talented artist Cornelis de Visscher, this piece showcases an allegorical figure riding atop a majestic elephant. The image exudes a sense of royalty and power as the male rider, possibly a Maharaja or Maharajah, sits confidently on his mount. The composition is reminiscent of seventeenth-century artistic schools with its attention to detail and symbolism. De Visscher skillfully captures the essence of Asia as a continent through this allegory. The elephant represents strength and wisdom while also symbolizing Asia's rich cultural heritage. Published in Apollo magazine's December 1926 issue, this print caught the attention of art enthusiasts during that time period. It was featured in volume IV, number 24, showcasing its significance within contemporary art circles. Cornelis de Visscher collaborated with C Van Dalen for this remarkable creation. Together they crafted an artwork that transports viewers into another era while celebrating the beauty and diversity found within Asia. As we admire this monochromatic masterpiece today, let us appreciate how it encapsulates both historical influences from centuries past and modern artistic techniques from the early twentieth century. This photograph serves as a testament to Cornelis de Visscher's talent as well as his ability to capture the spirit of an entire continent through one striking image.
