EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection titled "Procession draped women leading captives animals" takes us back in time to witness a magnificent scene filled with symbolism and ancient rituals. The artwork, created by Pierre Brebiette, a talented French artist of the 17th century, showcases his mastery of etching. In this intricate composition, we are transported to a world where draped women lead captive animals through an enchanting procession. On the left side of the image, envy rides atop a majestic lion while on the right, Silenus guides a humble donkey. These contrasting figures represent power and humility respectively. The print is part of a series called "Twelve Frieze Designs Showing Bacchanals, Sacrifices, Dances" which explores various aspects of bacchanalian celebrations and religious ceremonies. Each design offers glimpses into these vibrant festivities that were central to ancient cultures. Brebiette's attention to detail is evident in every element of this etching. From the intricately draped costumes worn by the women to their graceful postures as they lead their captives forward - every line tells a story. Measuring approximately 2 15/16 x 10 1/16 inches (74 x 256 cm), this print captures our imagination with its rich symbolism and historical significance. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a window into centuries past when such processions were not only visually stunning but also deeply meaningful expressions of culture and tradition.
