EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a remarkable piece of art titled "Rich Man Playing Violin Jaw Bone Engraving Sheet". The image transports us back in time to the Netherlandish city of Strasbourg, during the 16th century. Created by Johann Theodor de Bry, a renowned artist hailing from Bad Schwalbach, this engraving pays homage to Pieter Bruegel the Elder's original masterpiece. The composition depicts an affluent gentleman passionately playing his violin with great finesse. What makes this artwork truly unique is that instead of using a traditional bow, he elegantly plucks at the strings with a jaw bone. This unconventional choice adds an intriguing element to the scene and invites viewers to ponder its symbolism. The intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship evident in this print are attributed to Jan and Johannes Wierix, skilled engravers from Antwerp. Their expertise brings life to every stroke and texture captured on paper. Measuring approximately 3 11/16 x 3 5/8 inches (94.92 cm), this print is a testament to both artistic mastery and historical significance. It serves as a visual gateway into the rich cultural heritage of Breda and Brussels during that era.
