Amor Bitten Chair Crispijn Passe Embracing Five Senses Latin Parrot Personification Signature Taste Tasting Touch Turtle
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Touch" we are transported to a world where the senses come alive. Created by renowned artists Willem van de Passe and Crispijn van de Passe (I) between 1607 and 1637, this piece explores the theme of touch through intricate details and symbolism. At the center of the composition, we see a man seated in an ornate chair, personifying touch itself. His embrace with another figure represents the intimate connection that touch brings. The presence of fettered cupid, known as amor cruciatus, suggests both pleasure and pain associated with human contact. As our eyes wander across the image, we notice various objects that further enhance its meaning. A parrot perched on top of the chair symbolizes communication while a turtle crawling nearby signifies longevity and endurance. Latin signatures add an air of sophistication to this masterful work. The collaboration between Willem van de Passe and Crispijn van de Passe (I) is evident in their meticulous attention to detail and skillful execution. Their use of light and shadow creates depth within each element, making them appear almost tangible. This print from Quint Lox's Liszt Collection captures not only a moment frozen in time but also invites us to reflect on our own experiences with touch - its power to connect us or leave lasting imprints upon our lives.
