EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Minerva leaning pedestal Septem Artes liberales" transports us to the vibrant world of Amsterdam in 1691. In this exquisite artwork, Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare, leans gracefully on a majestic pedestal adorned with the series title. As she stands tall, Faam blows her trumpet, announcing the arrival of her children who play joyfully in the background. This mesmerizing image serves as a title print for a seven-part series that explores the enchanting realm of the seven liberal arts. Each performance within this series delves into one aspect of knowledge and intellectual growth symbolized by Minerva herself. The story unfolds through intricate etchings on delicate paper, capturing every detail with precision. In addition to Minerva's presence, we encounter other mythical figures such as Fame (Fama), Good Reputation (Fama Buona), Clear Reputation (Fama Chiara), and an array of cupids known as amores, amoretti, and putti. These characters add depth and intrigue to Caspar Luyken's masterful creation. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness an era where art seamlessly blended with storytelling. It reminds us that knowledge is not only powerful but also beautiful when presented through artistic expression.
