EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intrigue and vulnerability in the mythical world. In this scene, we witness a sleeping nymph, peacefully unaware of her surroundings, bathed in the soft glow of an oil lamp. Little does she know that she is being observed by a mischievous satyr, whose curious eyes are fixed upon her delicate form. The artist behind this mesmerizing copy is Arnold Houbraken from the Northern Netherlands. This particular print belongs to part 2 of a series filled with symbolic emblems and explores themes of unconsciousness and voyeurism. The composition beautifully juxtaposes the innocence of the slumbering nymph with the satyr's prying gaze. The female human figure depicted here showcases Ripa's "Corpo humano" concept, portraying her back view while subtly concealing her profile. The attention to detail in Houbraken's engraving brings life to every line and curve, making it truly remarkable. As we admire this enchanting artwork from the Liszt Collection, let us ponder upon its deeper meaning: how vulnerability can be exploited by those who seek to satisfy their own desires. This image serves as a reminder that even in our most serene moments, there may be unseen eyes watching our every move.
