EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Jan Luyken and Jurriaen van Poolsum from 1689, we are transported to a world of ancient mythology and symbolism. The central figure is Bellona, the Roman goddess of war, depicted here in all her formidable glory. Armed with a sword and spear, she exudes strength and determination as she prepares for battle. Above Bellona soars an eagle, a powerful predator known for its keen eyesight and majestic presence. In its clutches lies a crown, symbolizing sovereignty and authority. This imagery suggests that victory in war brings not only power but also the responsibility of leadership. The artists skillfully capture the intensity of Bellona's actions - casting weapons, hacking with her sword, thrusting with her spear - showcasing her prowess on the battlefield. Her fierce expression conveys both ferocity and focus as she embraces her role as the embodiment of warfare. This print serves as a reminder that throughout history, conflict has been an integral part of human existence. It reminds us to respect those who have fought bravely for their beliefs while acknowledging the weighty consequences that come with wielding power. Quint Lox's choice to share this particular artwork from Liszt Collection invites contemplation on themes such as courage, sacrifice, and the complexities surrounding military might.
