EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a remarkable piece of medieval art titled "A Scitalis, An Amphisbaena". Created in England, Europe around 1250-1260, this artwork is executed using pen-and-ink drawings that are delicately tinted with body color and translucent washes on parchment. The composition measures 21 x 15.7 cm (8 1/4 x 6 3/16 in. ), capturing the intricate details of these mythical creatures. The Scitalis and Amphisbaena are two legendary serpents depicted here with astonishing precision and imagination. The artist's skillful use of fine lines and subtle colors brings these fantastical beings to life. The Scitalis, known for its ability to move swiftly across land or water, appears poised for action. Its sinuous body coils elegantly as it prepares to strike its prey. Beside it lies the Amphisbaena, a creature with heads at both ends of its body. This peculiar serpent seems equally fascinating and menacing as it stares back at the viewer with piercing eyes. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into the medieval fascination with mythical creatures and their symbolic significance within European folklore. It serves as a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship of artists during this period. This print offers an opportunity to appreciate not only the historical value but also the artistic excellence encapsulated within "A Scitalis, An Amphisbaena. "
