EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us to a celestial realm where the Olympic gods reign supreme among the clouds. Titled "The Air Element Aer" it is part of a series called "The Four Elements" that beautifully captures the essence of each element through allegorical representations. In this particular artwork, we witness Jupiter and Juno, king and queen of Heaven, accompanied by their respective symbols - an eagle and a peacock. Surrounded by other gods from Olympus and playful putti frolicking between the clouds, this scene serves as an enchanting personification of air. The oval shape enclosing the divine figures adds a touch of elegance to the composition while bearing a Latin inscription that further enhances its mystique. Created by Abraham van den Hecken in the Netherlands between 1620 and 1655, this exquisite engraving on paper measures 99mm in height and 132mm in width. It showcases intricate details that bring life to each character depicted within it. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of humanity's fascination with mythology and our eternal quest for understanding nature's elements. It invites us to ponder upon the ethereal beauty found in both artistry and nature itself – an ephemeral moment frozen in time for all eternity.
