EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection depicts an allegorical representation of marriage, centered around a burning sacrificial column. In this enchanting scene, a man and a woman stand before an angel who will unite them in holy matrimony. The significance of their union is emphasized by the presence of Jupiter and Apollo in the air, accompanied by muses, Amor, and Venus. To the left of the couple stands Moderation personified, holding a horse's steam as a symbol of balance and restraint. Behind her, an elderly couple leans on a cane, perhaps representing wisdom gained through years of marital experience. The print also includes references to various virtues associated with marriage. At the top right corner is mentioned "First Book" likely referring to teachings on matrimonial fidelity and faithfulness. The Four Cardinal Virtues are represented here too; Temperance (Temperantia) takes center stage as one of these cardinal virtues. Created by Jacob Folkema in 1721 using etching techniques on paper, this artwork beautifully captures both the symbolic nature and profound importance attributed to marriage during that era.
