EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a powerful and thought-provoking artwork titled "Tomyris shown nude placing head Cyrus sack held". Created by Georg Pencz, a German artist from Leipzig in the 16th century, this engraving is part of a series of four mythological scenes. In this particular scene, Tomyris, depicted in her vulnerable nudity, stands with determination as she places the decapitated head of Cyrus into a sack held by a soldier. The soldier's gaze reflects shock and awe at the gruesome sight before him. The ground beneath them is strewn with remnants of battle, emphasizing the brutality that has taken place. Pencz's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print. From Tomyris' expressive face and poised stance to the texture on each individual strand of hair, his mastery shines through. The composition draws viewers into an intense moment frozen in time. Measuring approximately 4 11/16 x 2 15/16 inches (119.75 cm), this engraving captures both historical events and mythical elements seamlessly intertwined. It serves as a reminder of humanity's capacity for violence and revenge while also highlighting themes of power dynamics and gender roles within ancient narratives. As we contemplate this striking image, let us appreciate Pencz's artistic skill and reflect on the timeless stories it represents.
