EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Quint Lox from the Liszt Collection, we are transported to a mythical world where Hercules takes on the mighty Atlas. The scene unfolds with breathtaking intensity as Hercules effortlessly lifts the colossal globe of Atlas onto his broad shoulders. The weight of the heavens seems insignificant in comparison to his immense strength. But there is more to this story than meets the eye. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we witness a pivotal moment when Atlas confronts Hercules for stealing the coveted golden apples of the Hesperides. Their eyes lock in an intense stare-down, each determined to emerge victorious. The intricate details and masterful craftsmanship showcased in this print are truly remarkable. Created by renowned printmaker Cornelis Cort, it captures every sinew and muscle of these legendary figures with astonishing precision. Dating back to sometime between 1563 and 1595, this artwork stands as a testament to both Cort's skill and Julius Goltzius' vision as its creator. It serves as a reminder that even gods have their weaknesses and that no feat is too great for someone like Hercules. Quint Lox has expertly preserved this iconic moment through his lens, allowing us to marvel at the eternal struggle between power and perseverance captured within "Hercules takes the globe of Atlas.
