EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Pride Folly Series Tazza Designs, created around 1588, showcases an exquisite engraving by Theodor de Bry. Hailing from the Netherlands and born in 1528, de Bry's talent shines through this artwork displayed on a sheet measuring 5 1/16 by 4 13/16 inches (129 x 122 cm). At the heart of this piece lies a central medallion featuring a mischievous jester portrayed in profile and facing right. However, what truly captures attention is the merging of an upside-down head belonging to a satyr within this circular ornamental design. Surrounding this enigmatic centerpiece is a mesmerizing frieze adorned with various scenes that evoke both temptation and folly. From depictions of whores in Babylon to Adam and Eve succumbing to their desires, each panel tells its own intricate story. Peacocks strut alongside demons and grotesque figures, creating an atmosphere that oscillates between beauty and darkness. The Liszt Collection has masterfully preserved this remarkable engraving for all art enthusiasts to appreciate. With its rich historical context and artistic brilliance, it serves as a testament to de Bry's immense talent as well as his ability to provoke thought through visual storytelling.
