EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "River and sea gods with tradesmen" transports us back to the year 1625, a time when artistry and craftsmanship flourished. The image showcases an intricate scene filled with symbolism and rich details that captivate the viewer's imagination. In the center of the composition, we see river and sea gods surrounded by various tradesmen going about their daily tasks. These mythical beings are adorned with majestic wings on their shoulders, symbolizing their divine power over waterways. They stand proudly amidst a cornucopia, representing abundance and prosperity. The foreground reveals a man holding a Jacobs staff surveying instrument while examining an open atlas, indicating his role as a cartographer or explorer. A woman stands beside him, her hand resting on an hourglass - perhaps signifying the passage of time in relation to these trade routes. Atop this bustling scene is a book held by one of the men; it contains descriptions of opened maps depicting different regions. This detail suggests that knowledge and exploration were highly valued during this era. As our eyes wander through this masterpiece captured by Pieter Serwouters and Johannes Janssonius (with an unknown collaborator), we can't help but marvel at its complexity. Quint Lox has skillfully preserved this historical gem from the Liszt Collection for all to appreciate its beauty for generations to come.
