EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases Plate 119, Death Ajax Aiax moretm Sibi consciscens by Artokoloro. The artwork, created in 1606, is an etching that measures approximately 3 15/16 by 4 9/16 inches (10.116 cm). The print depicts a powerful scene inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses. In this tragic moment, we witness the renowned Greek hero Ajax facing his own mortality. As he takes his last breaths, surrounded by darkness and despair, Ajax contemplates the fleeting nature of life. Antonio Tempesta, an Italian artist hailing from Florence (1555-1630), masterfully captures the emotional intensity of this pivotal moment in ancient mythology. His intricate details and skillful use of light and shadow create a hauntingly beautiful composition. Through this artwork, Artokoloro invites us to reflect on our own mortality and the transitory nature of existence. It serves as a poignant reminder that even heroes must face their end eventually. This print offers art enthusiasts and history lovers alike an opportunity to appreciate Tempesta's talent while immersing themselves in classical tales brought to life through visual storytelling. Whether displayed in a gallery or cherished within your personal collection, this piece will undoubtedly spark contemplation and admiration for centuries to come.
