EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Sibyl of Cumae, Jan Luyken, Timotheus ten Hoorn, 1684" we are transported to a mystical world filled with imagination and ancient legends. The image showcases the Cumaean Sibyl standing at the entrance of a cave or grotto, her presence commanding attention and curiosity. The Sibyl of Cumae was known in Greek mythology as a prophetess who possessed incredible foresight and wisdom. Here, she is depicted in all her enigmatic glory, surrounded by men who seem captivated by her otherworldly aura. The artist's intricate details bring out the ethereal beauty of this scene. The composition takes on an even more significant meaning when we consider that it portrays the Annunciation - Christ's birth foretold to Mary by the angel Gabriel according to Luke 1:26-38. This merging of mythological and biblical elements adds depth to the artwork and invites us to ponder upon divine intervention throughout history. Printed in 1684 by Jan Luyken and Timotheus ten Hoorn, this piece exemplifies their mastery in capturing both realism and fantasy within one frame. Quint Lox has skillfully preserved this historical gem from the Liszt Collection for us to admire today. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we find ourselves drawn into a realm where myths intertwine with religious narratives – a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with stories that transcend time itself.
