EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a mesmerizing emblem that represents the passage of time and eternal existence. In the center, a majestic palm tree stands tall, symbolizing the annual rotation. Adorning its trunk is an intricately designed medallion featuring Janus, the Roman god of both past and future. The presence of Janus signifies the duality of time, reminding us to reflect on our history while embracing what lies ahead. Wrapped around the palm tree's trunk is a mystical Ouroboros serpent, representing eternity as it completes its never-ending cycle. At the foot of this magnificent tree lies an astrological zodiac chart, displaying all twelve zodiacal signs together in harmonious unity. In the foreground, two adorable putti capture our attention. One putto diligently draws a circle on the ground using a compass, symbolizing planimetry and geometry - perhaps signifying man's quest for knowledge and understanding. As we gaze into the background, we notice a vulture soaring gracefully through wind currents. This predatory bird serves as a metaphorical representation of life being nourished by change and transformation. The combination of elements in this engraving - including Janus' two-faced head, towering palm trees with their rich symbolism, celestial zodiac signs united under one sky - creates an enchanting visual narrative that invites contemplation about our place within time's unending embrace.
