EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Dutch Virgin sitting lion Title page M Vossius" showcases a remarkable depiction of Dutch symbolism and allegory. In this stunning artwork from 1680, the Dutch Virgin is portrayed seated on the back of a majestic lion, with a cat resting peacefully on her lap. The lion proudly holds the coat of arms of Holland between its powerful claws, symbolizing strength and sovereignty. In her right hand, the Dutch Virgin fearlessly fends off personified war, embodying courage and resilience. At her feet lies Zeeland's coat of arms, while a lance with a freedom hat leans against her shoulder as an emblematic representation of liberty. In the background stands a throning prince accompanied by a soldier and bishop, representing various nations, states, districts, and their respective coats of arms. This intricate composition beautifully captures the essence of unity amidst diversity. Created by Jan Luyken in Amsterdam using paper etching techniques, this historical piece serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an important cultural artifact. Its rich symbolism invites viewers to reflect upon concepts such as freedom and peace while appreciating the craftsmanship behind it. The Liszt Collection preserves this extraordinary image that encapsulates the spirit and heritage of Dutch culture during that era.
