EDITORS COMMENTS
This black-and-white etching, titled "Evrito Echione Etalide Battaglia nauale rapp. a" transports us back to the year 1608. The scene depicted is a naval battle on the Arno River, commemorating the wedding of the illustrious Prince of Tuscany. Created by renowned artists Cantagallina Remigio and Jacopo Ligozzi, this print captures a momentous event in exquisite detail. At its center, we see three prominent figures representing characters from Greek mythology: Eurytus portrayed by Count Alberti, Echion embodied by Count Carlo de Bardi, and Aethalides brought to life by Agnolo Guicciardini. These mythical heroes are guided through their epic journey by none other than Mercury himself, who takes on the form of a majestic peacock. The composition skillfully balances action and serenity as ships engage in fierce combat while Mercury gracefully hovers above them. The intricate lines and shading bring depth to every element within the artwork, showcasing Ligazza's mastery of etching techniques. This rare print from Liszt Collection offers viewers a glimpse into both ancient mythology and Renaissance artistry. It serves as a testament to human creativity across centuries and reminds us that even in tumultuous times like battles at sea or weddings of nobility - beauty can be found in unexpected places.
