EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an allegorical composition on Felix Meritis, a symbol of intellectual and artistic achievement. The right winged Fame blows her trumpet of praise, announcing the glory and recognition bestowed upon this esteemed institution. On the left, Apollo rests gracefully on clouds, his left arm resting on the blast that represents Felix Meritis. A putto holds onto this emblematic blast alongside Fame. The presence of various symbols adds depth to the composition: a bee-hive signifies industry and productivity while cupids (amores, amoretti) represent love and passion for knowledge. This intricate artwork tells a story about Apollo (Phoebus), who is associated with music, poetry, and enlightenment. Amsterdam serves as the backdrop for this masterpiece which was created by Jacques Kuyper in 1784 using paper and etching techniques. The small dimensions of 96mm in height and 98mm in width make it all the more impressive considering its level of detail. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate every nuance of this allegorical scene without any commercial use involved. It invites us to ponder upon the significance of Felix Meritis as a beacon for intellectual pursuits while celebrating fame's role in recognizing excellence within society.
