EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Aristotle and Phyllis" we are transported back to the 16th century, where an anonymous artist, G. Congiet, and Monogrammists skillfully depict a fascinating tale. Created between 1588 and 1592, this artwork captures a moment of scandalous allure. At the center of the composition stands Aristotle, renowned philosopher and scholar. However, his scholarly pursuits seem momentarily forgotten as he finds himself astride Phyllis, a seductive temptress who has cunningly stripped him of his clothes. This unexpected role reversal sees Aristotle reduced to crawling on all fours while Phyllis rides triumphantly upon his back. Surrounded by books and illuminated by candlelight at a study table adorned with terrestrial and celestial globes, this scene is both intriguing and thought-provoking. It raises questions about power dynamics, desire's ability to distract even the most learned minds from their intellectual pursuits. The intricate details in this print showcase the remarkable talent of its creators. The monogrammists have expertly captured every nuance - from Aristotle's expression of astonishment mixed with pleasure to Phyllis' confident posture atop her unlikely steed. Quint Lox's inclusion in attributing this artwork suggests that it holds significance within the Liszt Collection. While commercial use is not mentioned here explicitly, it is evident that Quint Lox recognizes its value as part of an esteemed collection dedicated to preserving historical art for generations to come.
