EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases two powerful Persian kings, King Cyrus and King Cambyses. On the left side of the image, we see King Cyrus holding a scepter in his hand, exuding authority and regality. In the background, an intriguing scene unfolds as a baby Cyrus is handed over by Harpagus to a shepherd, Mithridates. This moment captures the pivotal event where Harpagus defies King Astyages' orders to slay Cyrus and instead entrusts him to Mithridates for exposure. On the right side of the print stands King Cambyses with his hand resting on his sword, emanating strength and determination. Behind him lies another significant episode as Cambyses shoots an arrow at Prexaspes' son, illustrating his ruthless nature. The composition skillfully juxtaposes these contrasting moments in both kings' lives. The print also features two lines of text followed by three lines in Latin below it. These inscriptions likely provide additional context or commentary on the depicted scenes but remain untranslated here. Dating back to 1643-1646, this engraving on paper measures 214mm in height and 270mm in width. It belongs to a larger album titled "King Cyrus and King Cambyses Van de Coningen van Persen" which focuses on classical historical figures. This particular artwork offers viewers a glimpse into key events surrounding these Persian monarchs while showcasing exquisite craftsmanship by an anonymous artist.
