EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Medallion which Paris, sitting against a tree" we are transported back in time to the 16th century. The print maker, Adriaen Collaert, skillfully captures the essence of this mythological tale. At the center of the composition is Paris, portrayed as a young shepherd with his crook resting beside him. He sits comfortably against a tree trunk, holding an apple in his hand - a symbol of love and temptation. His gaze is fixed upon something beyond our view, perhaps contemplating his fateful decision that would change history forever. Surrounding Paris are beautifully shaded medallions adorned with intricate grotesques, flowers, garlands, and various animals. These delicate details add depth and richness to the overall composition while showcasing Collaert's mastery as a printmaker. One element that stands out prominently is the presence of a majestic unicorn by Paris' side. This mythical creature represents purity and innocence but also serves as a reminder of untamed desires lurking beneath its gentle exterior. The frame itself exudes elegance with its ornate design featuring mascarons - decorative masks often found in classical architecture - adding an air of mystery to the scene. Quint Lox's photograph perfectly captures all these elements from Liszt Collection's remarkable piece. It invites us to delve into ancient mythology and ponder on timeless themes such as love, fate, and human nature through Adriaen Collaert's exceptional artistry.
