EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Allegory of the majority of William V, 1766" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by the talented print maker Cornelis van Noorde in the same year, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of fame and power. The central figure is Prince William V himself, depicted with regal poise and authority. Adorned with the prestigious Order of the Garter, his arm confidently wields a weapon that blows forth fame through a trumpet. Kneeling before him is Music, symbolized by a music book held delicately in her hands. This allegorical representation showcases how music plays an essential role in celebrating achievements and spreading good reputation (fama buona). Surrounding Prince William V are various symbolic elements such as Chiara Ripa (clear river), representing clarity and purity; Minerva, embodying wisdom; and Quadrivium, signifying knowledge across four disciplines: arithmetic, geometry, music theory, and astronomy. Dated March 8th, 1766 - an important occasion for Prince William V - this image serves as a reminder of his influential reign during that era. The artist's skillful execution brings life to every detail within this composition. Quint Lox's masterful capture of this historical print from Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate its artistic brilliance while immersing ourselves in the rich symbolism it portrays.
