EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing artwork titled "Cupid Overpowering Pan" by Agostino Carracci, an Italian artist from the late 16th century. The image captures a rectangular piece of light blue paper adorned with black and white chalk strokes, measuring approximately 34.3 x 25.9 cm. The recto side of the artwork depicts Cupid triumphantly overpowering Pan, the Greek god of nature and rustic music. Through Carracci's skilled hand, we witness the delicate yet forceful struggle between these mythical figures unfold before our eyes. On the verso side, we are presented with a fascinating caricature - a comical depiction of a monk's head in profile. This playful addition to the artwork adds depth and whimsy to Carracci's creation. Dating back to around 1590, this masterpiece exemplifies Carracci's mastery in capturing human emotion and movement through his use of chalk on paper. The contrast between black and white creates striking visual effects that draw viewers into its world. As we admire this remarkable print from Liszt Collection, let us appreciate Agostino Carracci's artistic prowess as he immortalizes these timeless mythological characters alongside his witty portrayal of a monk. This exquisite piece serves as a testament to Italy's rich artistic heritage and continues to captivate audiences across Europe even today.
