EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a woodcut titled "Visitation, Song nian zhu gui cheng" by Gaspar Ferreira. Created between 1619 and 1623, this exquisite piece is part of a folio from a block book known as "A method for reciting the rosary" which has also been attributed to João da Rocha. The artwork depicts a scene of profound spiritual significance - the Visitation. Two women, believed to be Mary and her cousin Elizabeth, are shown embracing in an intimate encounter. The delicate lines and intricate details of the woodcut bring this sacred moment to life with remarkable precision. Gaspar Ferreira's mastery in capturing human emotions through his woodcuts is evident in every stroke. The composition exudes serenity and tenderness as these two biblical figures come together in mutual support during their respective pregnancies. This rare print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers insight into religious practices during that era. Its inclusion in the block book dedicated to reciting the rosary suggests its intended purpose was to aid devotion and contemplation among believers. With its historical significance, artistic brilliance, and spiritual depth, this print invites us to reflect on our own connections with others and seek solace within our faith.
