EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Robbery of Europe" by Jacob de Gheyn (II), we are transported back to the year 1592, where a dramatic scene unfolds. The central focus of the image is Jupiter, disguised as a white bull, abducting Europa. As the bull charges forward, maidens desperately try to keep the animal still but find themselves hampered by its immense power. Above them, Nereids and Mercury fly through the sky witnessing this extraordinary event. The waves crash around them as Neptune brandishes his trident in an attempt to intervene. This breathtaking composition captures the essence of drama and chaos that surrounds this infamous robbery. Jacob de Gheyn (II) skillfully brings together various mythological elements to depict this iconic tale from Greek mythology. Through his masterful use of light and shadow, he creates a sense of movement and tension within each figure. Quint Lox's expert reproduction of this historical artwork allows us to appreciate every intricate detail captured by de Gheyn (II). It serves as a reminder of both the artistic brilliance and timeless allure that classical stories continue to hold over centuries. This print from Liszt Collection offers viewers an opportunity to delve into ancient mythology while admiring one artist's interpretation brought beautifully into our modern world.
