EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Cartouche: Atlas turns into a mountain, Abraham de Bruyn, 1584" we are transported back in time to witness a mesmerizing scene of punishment and transformation. The image showcases the incredible artistic talent of Abraham de Bruyn, who masterfully captures the essence of inhospitality through his intricate details. At the center of the composition stands Atlas, burdened by his eternal task of holding up the heavens. However, as an act of retribution for his inhospitable nature towards Perseus during their encounter with Medusa's head, he is seen turning into a majestic mountain. This symbolic metamorphosis serves as a reminder that even gods must face consequences for their actions. Surrounding Atlas are animals symmetrically arranged in ornamental fashion - tritons, nereids, nymphs - each adding to the overall aesthetic appeal. The frame itself is adorned with grotesques and shaded elements that enhance its beauty further. Notably striking are the hoofed forelegs on one particular triton or nereid figure within the frame ornament. This unique detail adds an intriguing element to an already captivating composition. Quint Lox skillfully captures every nuance and intricacy present in this historical artwork from Liszt Collection. Through this photo print, viewers can appreciate both De Bruyn's artistry and Quint Lox's ability to bring it to life once again.
