EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases two powerful scenes from the Book of Job. In the upper image, we witness the first series of afflictions that befall Job, as described in Job 1:13-22. The artist skillfully captures the anguish and despair on Job's face as he faces unimaginable loss and suffering. In the lower image, we are transported to a poignant moment when Job is visited by his friends and wife while sitting on a dunghill, as narrated in Job 2:7-13. The composition beautifully depicts their interactions, conveying both sympathy and confusion among them. It is evident that even those closest to him struggle to comprehend his plight. The etching technique employed by Gilliam van der Gouwen, David Martin, Pierre Mortier, and Bernard Picart adds depth and texture to this historical artwork dating back to 1700. Their collaboration brings these biblical scenes to life with remarkable detail and emotional resonance. As viewers engage with this print, they are invited into an exploration of human suffering, faithfulness amidst adversity, and the complexities of relationships during times of hardship. This thought-provoking piece serves as a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there can be solace found through connection with others - whether it be friends or loved ones who stand beside us or through seeking comfort in our shared spiritual beliefs.
