EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating title page of "The Field Songs of Thyrsis" by Willem Mylius, printed in Leiden in 1705, transports us to a world of myth and music. The print depicts two mischievous satyrs and playful putti opening a stage curtain, revealing a breathtaking landscape with majestic mountains and a serene river flowing through it. From above, the blindfolded Fortuna hovers in the air, casting symbols of both wealth and decay down to the mesmerized crowd below. This allegorical scene reminds us that fortune can be fickle, bringing both prosperity and ruin. In the center of the stage, there is a round cartouche adorned with the title of the book, flanked by charming putti on either side. Their presence adds an element of whimsy to this enchanting composition. Created by Hendrik Elandt in 1702 using paper etching techniques, this intricate artwork measures 186 mm in height and 143 mm in width. It showcases Elandt's skillful craftsmanship as he brings together various elements seamlessly. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back to an era where artistry intertwined with literature to create visual narratives that captivated audiences. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of storytelling through different mediums throughout history.
