EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate title page of "Tronende Bellona" from Le Mercure hollandois, dl VI in 1679. The central figure, Tronende Bellona, gazes curiously at a tent where a wedding ceremony is reaching its conclusion. Above her, Mercury gracefully soars through the sky, adding an ethereal touch to the scene. In the foreground, we see Tweedracht on the left and Vader Tijd on the right; these symbolic figures represent Disagreement and Father Time respectively. Bellona herself embodies Enyo, a powerful goddess associated with war and destruction. This image tells a story of conflict as Discordia (according to Ripa) stands beside her. Meanwhile, Jan Luyken's artistry brings this enchanting tableau to life. The setting for this intriguing composition is Amsterdam in either 1677 or 1679. Crafted using paper and etching techniques, this small yet impactful artwork measures approximately 111 mm in height and 60 mm in width. As you delve into this mesmerizing print from Liszt Collection, let your imagination wander through time and space as it unravels the layers of symbolism woven within each element captured by Jan Luyken's skilled hand.
