EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a mesmerizing scene of three women adorned in classical dress, each holding a lyre with grace and elegance. The image is part of a remarkable collection of engravings that originated from ancient vases, predominantly crafted by skilled Greek artisans. These invaluable artifacts were discovered within sepulchres scattered across the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, particularly in the vicinity of Naples during the years MDCCLXXXIX and MDCCLXXXX. Sir Wm. Hamilton, an esteemed collector and connoisseur, proudly possesses this extraordinary compilation. His possession includes numerous vases accompanied by insightful remarks on each piece's historical significance and artistic merit. The etching technique employed to immortalize these exquisite works dates back to 1795. The composition itself exudes timeless beauty as it captures the essence of classical antiquity through its depiction of these graceful women immersed in music-making. Their elegant attire perfectly complements their delicate features while their poised stances convey both poignancy and serenity. As we gaze upon this enchanting photograph print, we are transported back to an era where artistry thrived alongside cultural refinement. It serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history while offering us a glimpse into the rich heritage preserved within Sir Wm. Hamilton's illustrious collection - one that continues to inspire awe and admiration for centuries-old craftsmanship.
