EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the letter I from Saverio Mercadante's opera "Virginia", composed in 1849-1850 and famously banned by censorship. The character depicted is Icilio, a key figure in this controversial work that was finally represented in 1866. This image is part of the Men's Alphabet (Liebig) Serie S0369, created by Compagnie Liebig, a publisher based in Antwerp.
The Abecedaire collection features 12 stunning advertising images in chromolithography, with each letter representing a different aspect of art and culture. The Liebig brand itself has a rich history, originating from the innovative mind of German chemist Justus von Liebig in 1865.
As we gaze upon this intricate portrayal of Icilio, we are transported back to a time when artistic expression faced strict scrutiny and challenges from authorities. Despite being censored initially, Mercadante's opera eventually saw the light of day and left an indelible mark on the world of music.
This print serves as a reminder of the power of creativity to overcome obstacles and push boundaries. It captures not just a single letter or character but also the spirit of resilience and defiance that defines great works of art like "Virginia".
