EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Drug Jar for Mithridate, attributed to the talented Italian artist Annibale Fontana. Created around 1580 in Milan or possibly Northern Italy, this terracotta masterpiece stands as a testament to the artistic prowess of its creator. The jar's exterior is adorned with intricate white paint and gilt detailing, exuding an air of opulence and grandeur. Its glazed interior adds a touch of sophistication to this already exquisite piece. Standing at an impressive height of 59.9 cm (23 5/8 in. ) with the lid on, it commands attention and admiration. Used for storing theriac, a renowned medicinal concoction during that era, this drug jar holds historical significance as well. It serves as a tangible link to the medical practices of ancient times when such remedies were highly valued. Annibale Fontana's craftsmanship shines through every delicate brushstroke and meticulous detail on this drug jar. The precision and skill required to create such an elaborate work are truly awe-inspiring. As we gaze upon this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness the merging of artistry and medicine in Renaissance Europe. This extraordinary artifact not only represents beauty but also offers insight into our ancestors' quest for healing knowledge.
