EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases an allegorical vignette titled "Minerva Laurdering Young Man". The artwork depicts Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom and warfare, in full armor with a spear, shield, and helmet. Accompanied by her loyal owl companion, she stands proudly while crowning a young man with laurels as a symbol of honor and achievement. To either side of Minerva's majestic throne, children can be seen engrossed in reading and play. Their presence adds an element of innocence and youthful curiosity to the scene. At the bottom of the ornamental frame lies an image of a rooster, perhaps signifying vigilance or awakening. Created by Simon Fokke in Amsterdam during 1737, this etching on paper measures 72mm in height and 91mm in width. Fokke's attention to detail is evident throughout the composition; every line meticulously captures the grace and power embodied by Minerva. The overall message conveyed through this allegorical vignette is one that celebrates knowledge, valor, and intellectual growth under Minerva's guidance. It serves as a reminder that wisdom should be cherished alongside playful exploration for both adults and children alike
