EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases Emblema XLVII, a stunning etching titled "Lupus ab Oriente Canis ab Occidente". Created by Michael Maier and Matthaeus Merian in 1687, this emblem depicts a powerful encounter between a wolf and a dog. The intricate details of the etching are brought to life through precise copper engravings, capturing the essence of nature's secrets. The image portrays an intense moment as the lupine creature from the East confronts its canine counterpart from the West. In their fierce confrontation, they engage in a biting struggle that symbolizes primal instincts clashing with domestication. This emblem serves as an allegory for opposing forces or ideologies coming into conflict. Maier's work is not only visually striking but also intellectually stimulating. Accompanied by thought-provoking sentiments and expertly crafted epigrams, this piece invites viewers to contemplate deeper meanings hidden within its imagery. Displayed on page 139 of Maier's book "Secretioris naturae secretorum scrutinium chymicum" this particular emblem holds significance within his larger body of work exploring natural philosophy and alchemy. Its inclusion in this collection highlights its importance as both an artistic masterpiece and a profound philosophical statement. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness these symbolic creatures locked in battle—a testament to humanity's eternal struggle with duality and conflicting forces.
