EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching from the Liszt Collection captures a poignant moment in history - Artemisia receiving the urn containing the ashes of her beloved husband, Mausolus. The scene depicts a kneeling man offering the urn to Artemisia, who shrinks back in fright upon its presentation. In the background stands the magnificent mausoleum that she had built in Halicarnassus as a testament to their enduring love. The artist skillfully conveys Artemisia's suffering and misfortune through her expression of fear and trepidation. Her grief is palpable as she confronts the reality of her husband's passing. The delicate lines and intricate details of this paper etching bring forth an emotional depth that resonates with viewers. Artemisia's story is one of strength and resilience, as she undertook the monumental task of constructing a grand mausoleum to honor Mausolus' memory. This artwork serves as a visual reminder of her dedication and devotion, encapsulating both her pain and determination. Created by an anonymous artist from Netherlands between 1630-1683, this piece showcases their mastery in capturing human emotions through art. Its small dimensions (h 145 mm x w 205 mm) invite closer inspection, allowing us to immerse ourselves fully into this historical narrative. While we may never know all there is to know about Artemisia's life or why this particular moment was chosen for depiction, what remains undeniable is our ability to connect with her sorrowful journey through
