EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning portrait of Pieter Rabus, elegantly displayed within an ornate oval medallion. The intricate details surrounding the portrait add to its allure, with a partial curtain draping at the top and right side, while a column adorned with two reliefs graces the left. One relief depicts a swan triumphing over a bat, symbolizing victory over darkness, while on the opposite side stands three graceful female figures in their natural form. The artist has paid meticulous attention to every element of this composition. A branch of laurel delicately rests beneath the edge of the portrait, signifying honor and achievement. The sculpture itself is masterfully crafted in relief style, showcasing the skillful hands that brought it to life. Dated back to 1743 Amsterdam, this engraving captures not only Pieter Rabus' likeness but also his essence as an individual. The eight-line Latin text inscribed on the ledge further adds depth and context to his story. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection's archives, we are transported back in time to witness both beauty and symbolism intertwine seamlessly. It serves as a testament to the artistry and creativity that flourished during this period while immortalizing Pieter Rabus for generations to come.
