EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a stunning title page illustration for J. van den Vondel's "Heldinnebrieven" published in 1715. The focal point of the image is a graceful woman adorned in an elegant Greek robe, seated on a wall. She exudes an air of authority and beauty as she holds two pigeons gently in her hands. Intriguingly, the woman extends her left hand to guide a man wearing a laurel wreath crown. This man, equipped with a feather pen, diligently writes the title of the book on an ornate frame before them. A sense of collaboration and creativity permeates this scene. A mischievous putto takes center stage in the foreground, surrounded by various symbolic elements such as club weapons and birds like turtle doves. Cupids or amores flutter about playfully while another putto named Wouter Jongman (mentioned on object) adds his presence to this enchanting composition. The exquisite craftsmanship of this engraving is evident through its meticulous details and delicate execution. Measuring 178mm in height and 127mm in width, it captures both grandeur and intimacy within its compact dimensions. This remarkable print offers viewers a glimpse into the world of classical literature while celebrating artistry that transcends time. It invites us to appreciate not only the written word but also visual storytelling at its finest.
