EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Revenge Magician Vergilius" we witness a mesmerizing scene unfolding at a bustling market square. The atmosphere is filled with an air of anticipation as people gather, clutching lanterns and candles tightly in their hands. It is the aftermath of a vengeful act by magician Vergilius, who has extinguished all the fires in Rome. The story behind this spectacle stems from Vergilius' humiliation at the hands of Lucretia. She had callously left him hanging in a basket outside her window overnight, causing great embarrassment to the magician. Seeking retribution, Vergilius devises an audacious plan to humiliate Lucretia before the entire city. As dusk settles over Rome, men begin lighting candles strategically placed behind Phyllis - possibly representing Lucretia's likeness or symbolizing her presence. The flickering flames cast enchanting shadows on the faces of those gathered around, reflecting both curiosity and trepidation. This artwork by Bartholomeus Willemsz captures not only Virgil's revenge but also explores themes of power dynamics and public shaming. The intricate details etched onto paper through engraving techniques bring life to each character's expression and emotion. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous event that forever changed the lives of those involved. It serves as a reminder that actions have consequences and vengeance can ignite unexpected outcomes within society itself.
