EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Jan Luyken, we are transported into a world of symbolism and contrasting forces. The image portrays a heart placed on a chariot, an ancient wheeled vehicle, being pulled in opposite directions by an angel and a donkey. Created in 1710 by Luyken in collaboration with Pieter Arentsz and Cornelis van der Sys II, the artwork is rich in meaning. The heart, universally recognized as the symbol of love and emotion, takes center stage here. It represents the human soul or spirit that is constantly torn between conflicting desires or influences. On one side stands an angelic figure pulling the chariot towards heavenly realms, signifying divine guidance and purity of intentions. On the other side tugs a humble donkey, representing earthly temptations or mundane distractions that can lead us astray. The composition is further enhanced by elements such as thunderbolts surrounding the scene, suggesting dramatic tension and potential consequences for our choices. Luyken's intricate details bring life to this symbolic tableau. This thought-provoking artwork invites contemplation on themes of inner struggle, moral dilemmas, and spiritual journeys. Its timeless message resonates across generations as we navigate our own paths through life's complexities. Quint Lox has skillfully captured this powerful image from Liszt Collection to share its beauty with art enthusiasts worldwide
