EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Prodigal Son Says Goodbye Father Filius Prodigus Abiit" transports us back to the 18th century, where a poignant scene unfolds. In this artwork by Giovanni Volpato, we witness the emotional departure of the prodigal son from his parental house. Positioned on the left side of the image, the lost son bids farewell to his father, who stands in the middle wearing a dressing gown and extending his arms in a gesture of love and longing. To add depth to this heartfelt moment, two ladies stand on the right side of the composition with their hands pressed against their hearts. Their presence suggests empathy and perhaps represents family members or close friends witnessing this bittersweet separation. The figures are impeccably dressed in attire characteristic of 18th-century fashion, showcasing Volpato's attention to detail. The title is placed beneath this evocative representation within an ornamental border that enhances its aesthetic appeal. This etching captures not only a specific narrative but also explores broader themes such as familial relationships and personal growth. It serves as a reminder that life often demands difficult choices and sacrifices for one's own journey towards self-discovery. Displayed within The Liszt Collection, this remarkable piece invites contemplation on universal human experiences while celebrating artistic craftsmanship from centuries past.
