EDITORS COMMENTS
In this etching from 1646 by Wenceslaus Hollar, we are transported to a heavenly realm where seven cherubic putti take flight amidst billowing clouds. The first state print, measuring 5 1/16 x 128 x 203 cm, showcases the exceptional talent of the Bohemian artist who later settled in London. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly the cross being carried aloft by these ethereal beings. With their delicate wings and serene expressions, they appear weightless as they ascend towards the heavens. The intricate details of each putto's features and flowing garments demonstrate Hollar's mastery of his craft. As we gaze upon this scene, one can't help but be struck by the symbolism at play. The image evokes a sense of divine grace and sacrifice, reminding us of Christ's crucifixion and resurrection. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in our earthly existence, there is hope for redemption and transcendence. The Liszt Collection has preserved this remarkable piece with utmost care, allowing art enthusiasts to appreciate its beauty for generations to come. This print captures not only Hollar's technical skill but also his ability to evoke emotion through his artistry. Whether displayed in a gallery or cherished within a private collection, "Seven Putti Carrying Cross" invites viewers into an otherworldly realm where faith intertwines with artistic expression.
