EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a mesmerizing artwork titled "Mercury standing holding caduceus right hand lyre" by Andrea Schiavone. Created in Venice between 1536 and 1540, this etching depicts the Roman god Mercury in all his glory. In the image, Mercury stands tall with his right hand gracefully holding a caduceus, symbolizing commerce and negotiation. The caduceus is intricately detailed, showcasing Schiavone's exceptional craftsmanship. In his left hand, Mercury holds a lyre, an instrument associated with music and poetry. The composition exudes elegance and dynamism as Mercury appears to be caught mid-action. His flowing robes add movement to the scene while emphasizing his divine status. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this masterpiece - from the delicate lines that define Mercury's features to the intricate patterns on his clothing. Andrea Schiavone was an Italian painter and printmaker known for his unique style that combined elements of Mannerism with Venetian coloration techniques. Born in Meldola around 1510, he later settled in Zadar (Zara), where he honed his artistic skills before moving to Venice. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to Schiavone's talent and creativity while offering viewers a glimpse into ancient mythology through artistry that has stood the test of time.
