1650 1672 Daughters Lying Young Cecrops Erichthonius Oil Paint Wicker Basket
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness a poignant moment of discovery. The scene depicts the daughters of Cecrops, ancient Greek king and founder of Athens, as they stumble upon an unexpected treasure - Erechthonius. Two women kneel beside a wicker basket where the child lies peacefully, their expressions filled with awe and tenderness. To the right of them stands a young woman alongside an elderly figure, both observing this remarkable encounter with curiosity and admiration. A stone pedestal proudly displays a bust nearby, perhaps symbolizing the significance of this newfound presence in their lives. Painted by Hendrick Heerschop between 1650 and 1672 using oil paint on canvas, every brushstroke brings life to this timeless moment. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the delicate folds of clothing and subtle play of light that illuminates each character's face. This print captures not only a historical event but also evokes universal emotions such as wonderment and love. It serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos or uncertainty, moments of serendipity can bring joy and purpose into our lives
