EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two headless lions from the gateway of Mycenae, accompanied by three exquisite gems depicting animals. The artwork belongs to the Society of Dilettanti drawings, prints, and letters collection, spanning from 1806 to 1880. Created using wash on paper between 1809 and 1835, this drawing was intended for publication in "Specimens of antient sculpture" a renowned work issued by the Society of Dilettanti. The image is annotated as "Ancient Sculpture" and serves as a tail piece for chapter one (lxxxi). It beautifully captures the essence of ancient Greek artistry while evoking a sense of mystery with its headless lion figures. These majestic creatures were once guardians at the entrance to Mycenae, an ancient city steeped in history and mythology. The inclusion of three gems featuring animal motifs adds further intrigue to this composition. Each gem tells its own story through intricate details carved into their surfaces. They offer glimpses into ancient civilizations' reverence for nature and their ability to immortalize it through artistic expression. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness these masterpieces firsthand. The attention given to every stroke and line reminds us that art has always been a powerful medium for storytelling across generations.
