EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of creativity and inspiration as a woman sits at a table, surrounded by the presence of Minerva and Faam. The woman is engrossed in her writing, penning words that will surely leave an indelible mark on history. Minerva, the goddess of wisdom and intellect, looks over her shoulder with an approving gaze, holding a laurel wreath to symbolize achievement. Resting her foot on a turtle, possibly representing Venus Urania as a symbol of domesticity, the seated lady exudes grace and elegance. Meanwhile, Fame blows on her praise trumpet adorned with a banner displaying the title page for "T Lof der vrouw" (The Praise of Women). This powerful image signifies the importance and recognition bestowed upon women's contributions throughout time. Musical instruments scattered across the floor add another layer to this scene - perhaps they represent harmony or creative expression. Cornelis van Dalen's masterful engraving skillfully brings together various elements: Minerva's watchful presence, Fame heralding accomplishments through her trumpet blasts, and symbols like turtles and musical instruments that enhance the narrative. This artwork serves as both an homage to female achievements and an invitation for viewers to reflect on their own potential for greatness. Created in Amsterdam in 1643 using paper as its canvas medium, this engraving transports us back in time while reminding us that celebrating women's accomplishments is timeless.
