EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection depicts an allegorical scene of birth, filled with symbolism and emotion. At its center, a woman tenderly presents a newborn baby to two putti, representing the embodiment of love and innocence. On the left side stands another woman holding a burning torch, symbolizing enlightenment and knowledge that accompanies new life. To the right of the birthing scene, we see a woman who has just given birth, her expression reflecting both exhaustion and joy. Two women stand beside her bed, perhaps midwives or supportive figures offering comfort during this transformative moment. In the background looms Apollo on his solar car, representing light and vitality as he traverses through celestial realms. This inclusion further emphasizes the significance of this miraculous event - birth as a divine gift intertwined with cosmic forces. The artist Giorgio Ghisi masterfully captured these intricate details in 1560 using paper engraving techniques. The delicacy of lines brings forth every nuance of emotion present in each figure's face while showcasing their ethereal beauty. This remarkable print serves as an homage to motherhood and celebrates the profound miracle that is childbirth. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as creation, nurturing love, and human connection across time and cultures.
