EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back to Amsterdam in 1693, where artist Jan Luyken masterfully captures a truly extraordinary sight. Two birds, working together in perfect harmony, carry a stick through the air while a turtle clings onto it for dear life. This incredible display of cooperation and ingenuity is both mesmerizing and thought-provoking. The etching on paper measures just 87mm in height and 76mm in width, yet within these small dimensions lies an immense story waiting to be unraveled. Luyken's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully depicts the intricate feathers of the birds and the determined grip of the turtle. What makes this image even more intriguing is that it raises questions about nature's ability to adapt and overcome challenges. How did these two different species come together with such synchronized precision? What circumstances led them to form this unlikely alliance? As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, we can't help but marvel at its beauty and ponder its deeper meaning. It serves as a reminder that sometimes unexpected partnerships can lead us to achieve great things - just like these two birds carrying their unusual cargo through the sky.
