EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cartouche with a quote from Cicero" takes us back to the Renaissance era, where art and literature flourished. The image showcases an intricately designed cartouche adorned with scrollwork, strapwork, and garlands. At its center stands a nude human figure, symbolizing the beauty of the corpo humano ripa. The composition is enhanced by a thought-provoking Latin inscription: "Chastising vice is not only right but also beneficial for no one can be happy in wickedness or idleness". These words are attributed to Cicero, one of the most influential classical authors whose wisdom still resonates today. The photograph skillfully captures every detail of this masterpiece created by Frans Huys, Hans Vredeman de Vries, and Gerard de Jode in 1555. The body caught within the scrollwork serves as a reminder that we are all trapped by our own actions and choices. As we delve into this image further, we notice additional elements such as a child holding chopsticks and stores depicted within smaller cartouches. These details add depth to the overall composition while highlighting various aspects of life during that period. Quint Lox's photography brings out the essence of classical artistry through his lens. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship involved but also invites contemplation on timeless philosophical concepts presented by renowned thinkers like Cicero.
