EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Triumph of Truth" we are transported back to the 16th century, where artist Monogrammist CR, along with Hieronymus Wierix and Joanni Medic, skillfully depict an allegorical scene. The central focus lies on the personifications of truth and falsehood seated on thrones. As our eyes wander through the image, we notice Christ holding an open book of biblical proverbs while a burning oil lamp illuminates the world at his feet. A peculiar creature embraces a skeleton as it clutches onto a globe adorned with a cross. An old man in robes and glasses holds up a lantern amidst a pile of books, symbolizing hypocrisy. Snakes slither around alongside a lobster while putti carry palm branches and laurel wreaths representing victory. The triumph is complete as seraphim bands surround the Holy Spirit who sits atop truth personified. This divine figure identifies truth by resting upon her lap while falsehood is beaten down with an open book. This thought-provoking composition reminds us that truth consists not only in essence but also in embracing differing opinions without guise or deceit. The presence of the old man standing nearby suggests wisdom gained through experience. Quint Lox's expert capture allows us to appreciate every intricate detail within this masterpiece from centuries ago - Verità Ripa comes alive before our very eyes!
