EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Satyr with a Nymph" by Arnold Houbraken, created between 1700 and 1750, we are transported into the realm of Greek mythology. The scene depicts one of the most iconic and often controversial relationships in ancient folklore - that of satyrs pursuing nymphs. The print showcases a wet nymph, her delicate form illuminated by an oil lamp held by a mischievous satyr. The canopy above them is pulled back to reveal their clandestine encounter beneath a tree. The satyr's robe hangs loosely around his body as he gazes intently at the alluring nymph before him. Houbraken skillfully captures the tension and unfriendly activities inherent in these encounters through his masterful use of light and shadow. This picture serves as a reminder of the complex allegories present in Greek mythology, where desire and pursuit intertwine. Although anonymous, this print exemplifies the artistic style prevalent during its time period. It draws us into an enchanting world filled with mythical creatures and timeless stories. Quint Lox's inclusion of this piece in Liszt Collection allows viewers to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic merit.
