EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Minerva Overcomes Ignorance and Laziness" depicts the powerful goddess Minerva seated gracefully on a bed of clouds. In this symbolic representation, she triumphs over two formidable adversaries - ignorance and laziness. With her feet firmly planted on Ignorance, Minerva exudes knowledge and wisdom, ready to conquer any obstacle in her path. Laziness, personified by a turtle fleeing from her presence, represents the lack of motivation and productivity that hinders progress. As Minerva's gaze is fixed upon a globe, it symbolizes her vast understanding of the world and her commitment to enlightenment. The titles of writer Cesar Vichard de Saint Real are inscribed alongside the image as an homage to his literary contributions. The Genie depicted here embodies Sloth, Indolence, Acedia, Desidia, Accidia - one of the Seven Deadly Sins. This serves as a reminder that overcoming ignorance and laziness requires constant effort and dedication. Created by Pieter Tanjé in Amsterdam between 1716-1761 using paper engraving techniques; this artwork showcases intricate details within its compact dimensions (147mm x 93mm). It stands as a testament to both artistic skill and intellectual prowess. This print captures Minerva's role as patroness of knowledge while highlighting the importance of combating ignorance and laziness for personal growth. Its inclusion in the Liszt Collection ensures its preservation for generations to come without commercial intent or use mentioned
