EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases an allegorical representation filled with profound symbolism. The central focus is a tomb, adorned with various personifications that surround it. As we observe this intricate scene, a chilling skeleton can be seen attempting to strike down a man lying on the tomb with a menacing spear. This macabre image serves as a reminder of our mortality and the inevitable presence of death. The sky above is teeming with devilish figures in the form of fabulous animals, adding an eerie atmosphere to the composition. Their sinister presence suggests an otherworldly realm intertwined with our own mortal existence. At the foot of the tomb, a grieving putto sheds tears, symbolizing sorrow and mourning for those who have passed away. The juxtaposition between life and death is palpable in this emotional depiction. Created by Simon Fokke, an Amsterdam-based artist active during 1722-1784, this paper engraving measures 96mm in height and 157mm in width. Fokke's attention to detail brings each element to life while evoking contemplation about our transient nature. As we explore this thought-provoking artwork from centuries past, let us reflect on its timeless message: that life is fleeting and should be cherished while we still have it.
