EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection captures a moment of intense drama and emotion. Titled "Apollo forge Vulcanus Theater emblems opened" it depicts a scene from a series of prints with emblems, created by Arnold Houbraken between 1688 and 1700. In the image, we see Apollo, the Greek god of music and poetry, standing beside Vulcan's anvil in his forge. His head is adorned with a light wreath made of sun rays, symbolizing his divine status. As he works on his winch, news reaches him that shocks him to the core - his wife Venus has committed adultery with Mars. The artist skillfully portrays Apollo's shock and disbelief as he processes this devastating revelation. Meanwhile, Vulcan listens intently to the news while continuing his work at the anvil. The intricate details in this etching bring these mythological characters to life. This particular print is part one of a three-part series consisting of 23,17, and 20 prints respectively. It showcases cupids or cherubs known as amores or putti who play significant roles throughout the series. Overall, this exquisite piece invites viewers into a world where gods experience human emotions and face unexpected challenges within their own celestial realm.
