EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite engraving titled "Minerva & Mercury Arming Perseus" created in 1604 by Bartholomeus Spranger, a renowned Netherlandish artist from Antwerp. Measuring an impressive 565 x 398cm, this third state print is a true masterpiece that captures the imagination. In this scene, we witness the divine figures of Minerva and Mercury preparing Perseus for his heroic quest. The intricate details and delicate lines of Spranger's engraving bring these mythological characters to life, showcasing his exceptional skill as an artist. Spranger's work was greatly influenced by Mannerism, characterized by its exaggerated proportions and elegant poses. His ability to convey movement and emotion through static images is evident in this piece. The composition draws us into the narrative, as we observe Minerva bestowing her wisdom upon Perseus while Mercury equips him with powerful weapons. The collaboration between Spranger and Jan Muller from Amsterdam resulted in a harmonious fusion of talent and technique. Muller contributed to enhancing the overall quality of the engraving with his expertise in printing. As we gaze at this remarkable print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back to a time when mythology held great significance in art. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with ancient tales and their timeless relevance in shaping our understanding of heroism and destiny.
