EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Blasphemer is grabbed by the devil" we are transported back to 1710, a time when religious beliefs and superstitions held immense power over people's lives. The image, skillfully captured by Quint Lox from the Liszt Collection, portrays a dramatic scene that delves into themes of sin, punishment, and redemption. The central focus of the print is an unfortunate blasphemer who finds himself in the clutches of the devil. With his twisted horns and menacing gaze, the devil appears both terrifying and compelling at once. The artist's attention to detail brings out every intricate feature on their faces - from furrowed brows to clenched fists - evoking a sense of urgency and despair. Surrounding this gripping encounter are other figures that add depth to the narrative. Disguised as ordinary individuals but bearing unmistakable Jewish symbols, they represent not only societal prejudices but also hidden identities within communities during that era. Caspar Luyken, Christoph Weigel, Frantz Martin Hertzen masterfully collaborate in creating this thought-provoking piece that explores human nature's darker aspects while shedding light on Jewish life during those times. Through their artistic prowess, they challenge viewers to reflect upon morality and question whether divine retribution or personal growth can lead one towards salvation. Quint Lox has expertly preserved this historical gem for us all to appreciate today. This print serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and spark conversations about
