1621 Argus Claes Jansz Visscher Ii Conversation Mercury Moyses Van Wtenbrouck Gravures Anciennes Kupferstich Kabinett Old Master Prints
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Mercury in Conversation with Argus" we are transported back to the year 1621, where artists Moyses van Wtenbrouck and Claes Jansz. Visscher (II) bring to life a mythical encounter between the mischievous god Mercury and the hundred-eyed giant Argus. The intricate details of this engraving, housed in the Kupferstich-Kabinett collection, showcase the mastery of these old master prints. The delicate lines and shading create a sense of depth and movement within the composition. As we gaze upon it, we can almost hear their voices intertwining in conversation. Argus, known for his vigilant watchfulness, is depicted with multiple eyes adorning his head like a crown. His expression reveals both curiosity and suspicion as he engages in dialogue with Mercury – messenger of gods and patron of travelers. This artwork from Arkheia's Liszt Collection invites us into a world where ancient mythology comes alive through art. It reminds us that even centuries ago, artists were able to capture timeless stories that continue to resonate today. As we admire this print by Artokoloro, let our imaginations wander as we contemplate what secrets might be exchanged between these two legendary figures.
