EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to ancient Rome, where classical gods were revered and celebrated. The image depicts Saturn, one of the most enigmatic deities of Roman mythology, standing proudly in a niche adorned with intricate carvings. In his left hand, he holds a scythe, symbolizing the passage of time and the inevitability of death. The series of eight prints is based on original paintings by Polidoro da Caravaggio that once graced the facade of a Roman house. Hendrick Goltzius, a renowned printmaker from the 17th century, had the privilege of seeing these remarkable works during his visit to Rome and was inspired to recreate them through his masterful engraving technique. Dating back to either 1592 or between 1628-1709 (the exact date remains uncertain), this print captures both the beauty and grandeur of classical art. Each detail has been meticulously redrawn by Goltzius himself, ensuring that every line and curve faithfully represents its original counterpart. As we gaze upon this exquisite piece, we are transported into an era long gone but forever immortalized through art. The combination of Goltzius' skillful craftsmanship and Polidoro da Caravaggio's timeless paintings creates an extraordinary fusion that continues to captivate viewers even today.
