EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Virtus Combusta: An Allegory of Virtue" we are transported back to the workshop of Andrea Mantegna, a renowned Italian Renaissance artist. Created between 1495 and 1500, this print showcases the masterful craftsmanship that emanated from Mantegna's studio. The scene depicted in the engraving is rich with symbolism and allegory. At its center stands Virtus Combusta, personifying virtue itself. Clad in regal attire and adorned with a laurel wreath, she exudes strength and dignity. Surrounding her are various figures representing different virtues such as courage, wisdom, justice, and temperance. Mantegna's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his burin. The intricate patterns on the characters' garments and the meticulous rendering of their facial expressions bring them to life before our eyes. The composition is carefully balanced, drawing our gaze from one figure to another as we explore each symbolic element. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate not only Mantegna's artistic genius but also his ability to convey complex ideas through visual storytelling. It serves as a testament to his enduring influence on art history. Whether displayed in an art lover's private collection or used for educational purposes, this engraving offers a glimpse into the world of one of Italy's most celebrated artists - Andrea Mantegna - reminding us of the timeless power that virtuous ideals hold over humanity throughout centuries past and present
