EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous scene from the legendary story of Hercules. The mighty hero is depicted playing his winch in a dimly lit cave, where he stands next to his trusty club and a slumbering lion. As Hercules strums the strings of his instrument, creating an enchanting melody that fills the air, a curious putto watches over him with fascination. The image beautifully captures the essence of Hercules' strength and bravery as he peacefully engages in music amidst dangerous surroundings. It serves as a reminder that even heroes need moments of respite and solace. The intricate details showcased through Simon Fokke's masterful etching technique transport us directly into this mythical world. Dating back to 1722-1784 Amsterdam, this delicate paper print showcases both historical significance and artistic excellence. Its small dimensions of 137 mm by 90 mm invite viewers to closely examine every meticulous stroke made by Fokke's hand. This remarkable piece invites us to delve deeper into the timeless tale of Hercules (or Heracles) while appreciating its artistic value. Whether displayed within a personal collection or admired for its historical context, this print offers an intriguing glimpse into classical mythology brought to life through artistry and imagination.
