EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Bias of Priene" we are transported back to the year 1616, where four esteemed individuals gather in a bare room. Jacob de Gheyn (III), Decimus Magnus Ausonius, and Nicolaes de Clerck accompany Bias of Priene, one of the renowned Seven Wise Men of Greece. Seated comfortably on a wooden chair, Bias is engrossed in reading a book while dressed in an elegant robe. The room's only source of light comes from a small window that overlooks what appears to be a siege camp with flickering fires. The composition exudes wisdom and intellectual curiosity as books stack up at Bias' feet, symbolizing his vast knowledge and scholarly pursuits. A Latin poem card rests delicately in his hand, perhaps containing profound words penned by him or dedicated to him. This striking frontispiece showcases the portraits of these Greek sages who have left an indelible mark on history. Quint Lox expertly captures their essence through meticulous attention to detail and masterful use of light and shadow. As we gaze upon this intriguing image from the Liszt Collection, we are reminded of the timeless allure of ancient wisdom and how it continues to inspire generations even centuries later.
