EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases an exquisite design of knife handles, titled "Sine Cerere et Baccho Friget Venus". Created by Johann Theodor de Bry in the late 16th to early 17th century, this engraving is a true masterpiece of blackwork art. The image features two distinct knife handle designs adorned with intricate scenes and figures. At the top left corner, an arch bears the inscription "Sine Cerere et Baccho Friget Venus" which translates to "Without Ceres and Bacchus, Venus freezes". This phrase alludes to the importance of food (Ceres) and drink (Bacchus) in maintaining love and passion. Intriguingly, one scene depicts a male and female figure walking together. Their presence adds a freeze-like quality to this artistic composition while symbolizing the freezing or stagnation that can occur without sustenance for both body and soul. Johann Theodor de Bry's attention to detail is evident throughout this panel, as every line and curve has been meticulously engraved. The artist's Netherlandish background shines through in his skillful execution. Measuring approximately 5 1/4 x 134 x 102 cm, this print captures every nuance of De Bry's original work. It serves as a testament to his talent as well as an intriguing conversation piece for any art enthusiast or collector.
