EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection captures a moment of profound surrender and unity amidst chaos. Titled "Mankind Surrendering Lechery Flood Embracing Couples" this artwork is part of a series of engravings that were first published in 1612 as part of the Liber Genesis by Crispijn de Passe the Elder, a renowned Netherlandish artist. In this particular engraving, we see couples embracing each other on benches around a table filled with food and drink. The scene unfolds against the backdrop of a devastating flood, symbolizing the destructive power of lechery that mankind has chosen to abandon. Despite the turmoil surrounding them, these couples find solace in their love for one another. The composition is masterfully executed, with intricate details and delicate lines bringing life to each figure. The use of light and shadow adds depth and emotion to the scene, highlighting both vulnerability and resilience. Crispijn de Passe's artistic prowess shines through in this print, showcasing his ability to capture complex human emotions within an allegorical narrative. This first edition engraving measures approximately 3 7/16 x 5 7/8 inches (8.8 x 12.7 cm), making it an intimate yet impactful piece. As you gaze upon this remarkable artwork, let yourself be drawn into its rich symbolism and contemplate humanity's capacity for redemption even in times of adversity.
