EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Scene with Misericordia and Veritas in a Circle at Center, 1580-1600" by Theodore de Bry takes us back to the 16th century. The image showcases an allegorical scene featuring two central figures: Misericordia (Mercy) and Veritas (Truth), beautifully depicted within a circular composition. The attention to detail is remarkable as we observe the intricate decoration surrounding the main subjects. Misericordia, portrayed as a female figure, gestures towards her breast while holding a rod of Asclepius, symbolizing healing and compassion. Veritas stands beside her, pointing towards scales representing justice and truth. The artist's use of nudity adds depth to the concept being conveyed. Two children are seen drinking breast milk from Misericordia's exposed breasts, emphasizing themes of nurturing and care. This inclusion challenges societal norms of that era. Notably, this artwork explores LGBTQ+ themes through its portrayal of lesbianism. The presence of lesbian couples embracing one another further highlights de Bry's progressive mindset for his time period. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this engraving serves as a testament to de Bry's artistic prowess in capturing complex ideas through visual storytelling. It invites viewers to reflect on timeless concepts such as mercy, truth, justice, sexuality, and love while appreciating the beauty found within this historical masterpiece.
