EDITORS COMMENTS
The Choleric Temperament: A Glimpse into the Fiery Spirit of Hugo de Groot". In this print from 1596-1597, we are transported back in time to witness the essence of the choleric temperament, represented by the fire element. The figures depicted here are none other than Hugo de Groot and Jacob de Gheyn (II), who skillfully capture the truculent attitude and warrior-like disposition associated with this temperament. The aged man, adorned in a helmet and shield, exudes an air of authority as he confidently brandishes his dagger and sword. His feet firmly planted on the ground symbolize his unwavering determination. Nearby lies a drum with a burning fuse, reminding us of the soldier's life filled with action and danger. Every detail in this print tells a story - from the glove resting on top of buildings to Latin text inscribed throughout. Quint Lox's masterful composition showcases lines that seem to come alive, emphasizing both form and movement. This artwork encapsulates all four temperaments within its nutshell; however, it is through Hugo de Groot's engaged act that we truly experience what it means to possess a choleric temperament. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, let us be inspired by these historical figures who embody strength, passion, and an unyielding spirit.
