EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Oleum olivarum, the invention of the olive oil press" takes us back to 16th century Florence, Italy. Created by Stradanus or Stratesis, a talented Flemish artist working during this era, the piece showcases his exceptional illustrative technique and attention to detail. Engraved by Philip Galle, another skilled artist of that time, this print is a testament to their collaborative brilliance. The image transports us to an ancient olive grove where we witness the groundbreaking moment when the olive oil press was invented. The scene is filled with energy as workers laboriously extract precious liquid gold from olives using innovative machinery. Their determination and expertise are palpable through every stroke of the engraving. As we admire this historic artwork from centuries ago, it's impossible not to appreciate its retro-styled charm and vintage appeal. It serves as a window into both art history and cultural practices surrounding olive oil production in Renaissance Florence. The Liszt Collection has preserved this remarkable engraved image for generations to come. Its historical significance resonates with those who value arts and culture while offering a glimpse into our past—a reminder of how human ingenuity has shaped our world throughout time.
