EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases an exquisite allegory of marriage, specifically the announcement of Jan Brandt junior and Maria Lups' union. The artwork is presented in a graceful list adorned with the arms of both the Brandt and Lups families, symbolizing their coming together. In this enchanting scene, a couple is guided by Amor towards a sacrificial column embellished with burning hearts. This imagery represents the passionate commitment and sacrifice that marriage entails. Above them, Juno and Minerva observe from a cloud in the sky, highlighting their roles as protectresses of marriage. Juno Iuga and Juno Pronuba are known for overseeing marriages while Minerva (Pallas Athena) embodies wisdom and strategic planning. The artist Adolf van der Laan masterfully captures these symbolic elements through letterpress printing on paper dating back to 1725. The delicate details bring this allegory to life, evoking emotions of love, devotion, and unity. This print serves as not only an artistic masterpiece but also as a historical artifact documenting Jan Brandt junior and Maria Lups' matrimonial announcement. It stands as a testament to their commitment to one another within the context of societal norms during that time period.
