EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Cardinal Montalto turns up elected Pope throws" we are transported back to the year 1697 in Amsterdam. The image captures a moment of great significance and surprise as Cardinal Montalto, having just been elected Pope, dramatically tosses his baton away. The etching by Jan Luyken beautifully depicts the scene with intricate details on paper. The composition is centered around Cardinal Montalto, who stands tall and resolute, symbolizing the weight of his newfound responsibility. His face reveals a mix of determination and perhaps even disbelief at his sudden rise to power. Surrounded by fellow cardinals and members of the clergy, their expressions range from shock to admiration for their new leader. Sixtus V, the previous Pope, watches intently from a distance, recognizing that a new era has begun under Cardinal Montalto's reign. This artwork not only captures an important historical event but also conveys powerful themes such as transformation and destiny. It reminds us that life can take unexpected turns, propelling us into positions we may have never imagined for ourselves. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, let it serve as a reminder that sometimes our greatest achievements come when we least expect them – when we bravely cast aside what once defined us and embrace our true potential.
