EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we witness a powerful allegorical representation of religion as it comforts a poor old man. The image showcases a woman draped in a shawl, personifying religion itself. With compassion and tenderness, she takes the hand of the destitute elderly gentleman who sits before her. The scene is filled with symbolism and emotion. As the woman points upwards, she guides the man's gaze towards something greater than his current circumstances - perhaps offering him solace and hope in his time of need. This poignant gesture reminds us that religion has long been seen as a source of comfort for those facing hardship or adversity. Created by Battista Franco during 16th century Italy, this etching on paper captures not only religious devotion but also artistic mastery. The intricate details and delicate lines bring life to both figures, emphasizing their connection and highlighting the significance of their encounter. This artwork serves as a reminder that faith can provide solace even in our darkest moments. It speaks to the timeless human desire for guidance and support when faced with challenges beyond our control. Through this image, we are invited to reflect on how religion can offer strength to those who find themselves vulnerable or marginalized within society
