EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases Plate 14 of Erichthonius Released, a remarkable etching by Antonio Tempesta. The artwork depicts an intriguing scene from Ovid's Metamorphoses, where Erichthonius is seen emerging from a basket. The meticulous details and masterful technique employed by Tempesta are evident in this stunning piece. The composition captures the moment when Erichthonius, a mythical figure born from Earth herself, is set free from his confinement. With the cistella laxata cernitur (loosened basket) as his vessel of liberation, he emerges with grace and power. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to the image, emphasizing the dramatic nature of this transformative event. Antonio Tempesta was an Italian artist hailing from Florence but later based in Rome during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. His expertise in capturing dynamic scenes through etchings made him highly regarded among his contemporaries. This particular print measures approximately 4 1/16 x 5/8 inches (103 x 118 cm), making it a compact yet impactful addition to any art collection. As you admire this exquisite print, allow yourself to be transported into the realm of mythology and witness Erichthonius' release firsthand. Let your imagination wander as you delve into the rich symbolism embedded within this work of art - a testament to both Ovid's enduring narrative and Tempesta
