EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Balaam (Balaam), and the angel" transports us back in time to an era of artistic brilliance. Created by Jan Luyken and Pieter Mortier between 1703 and 1762, this masterpiece captures a pivotal moment from the biblical story of Balaam. In this scene, we witness Balaam astride his faithful donkey as they journey through a barren landscape. Suddenly, an ethereal figure emerges - the angel sent by God to block their path. The tension is palpable as Balaam's ass recoils in fear, while its master remains oblivious to the divine presence before him. Luyken and Mortier's attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke brings life to this ancient tale. The play of light and shadow adds depth, emphasizing the contrast between mortal man and celestial being. Through their artistry, they invite us into this sacred encounter that has captivated generations for centuries. Quint Lox's skillful photography preserves the essence of this historical artwork within a modern context. By capturing it with precision and care, he allows us to appreciate its beauty anew. This print from Liszt Collection serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage while honoring the talent behind its creation. Whether displayed in a gallery or cherished within one's personal collection, "Balaam (Balaam), and the angel" invites contemplation on themes such as faith, obedience, and spiritual awakening.
