EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Offer Iphigenia Ifigenia libens collum submitte securi" transports us to a pivotal moment in Greek mythology. The scene depicts the sacrifice of Iphigenia, as envisioned by Giovanni Girolamo Frezza in 1713. At the center of the composition, we see Iphigenia kneeling before the high priest Kalchas, who holds a secure axe ready for sacrifice. A hangman stands beside her, symbolizing the imminent tragedy about to unfold. Onlookers on the left turn their heads away, unable to witness this heart-wrenching event. In stark contrast to this somber atmosphere, Diana, goddess of hunting and protector of young girls like Iphigenia herself, appears in the background. She floats on a cloud with a deer by her side—a poignant reminder that even amidst despair and loss, there is still divine presence and hope. The intricate details captured through engraving bring life to this historical moment. The delicate lines etched onto paper showcase Frezza's artistic skill and his ability to convey emotion through visual storytelling. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we are reminded of the timeless power of mythological narratives and how they continue to inspire artists across centuries. It serves as both a testament to human creativity and an exploration into themes such as sacrifice, fate, and divine intervention that resonate with audiences today.
