EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a sheet with four representations, each printed from four blocks, creating a stunning visual narrative. The composition is divided into quadrants, with two distinct scenes depicted in each section. In the top left quadrant, we see an intriguing contrast between a lender and a citizen. This juxtaposition hints at the complex dynamics of wealth and power within society during this period. In the top right quadrant, a nobleman and statesman take center stage, symbolizing the influence of aristocracy and governance. Moving to the bottom left quadrant, two men are shown diligently digging a grave. This somber image serves as a reminder of mortality and highlights themes of labor and social hierarchy. Finally, in the bottom right quadrant, we witness an enigmatic encounter between a man and Death personified as skeleton. This evocative portrayal invites contemplation on life's transience. The subjects represented in this print encompass various social classes such as money-lenders, usurers, bourgeoisie (middle class), citizens (burghers), nobility (patriciate), chivalry (knighthood), officials (civil servants), functionaries (in general). The anonymity of these figures adds depth to their symbolic significance. Dating back to either 1550 - 1600 or 1700 - 1800 in Nederlanden region, this historic piece is rendered on paper measuring h 303 mm x w 420 mm. Its intricate details invite viewers to delve into its rich tape
