EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the engraving titled "Aristotle and Phyllis, surrounded by a Young Man and Woman with Eros" created in the second half of the 15th century. The artwork, attributed to Baldini, Baccio (c. 1436-87) or his circle, measures 16 cm in diameter and is part of a private collection. In this intriguing composition, Aristotle and Phyllis take center stage as they are encircled by a young man and woman accompanied by Eros, the Greek god of love. A reclining nude woman with two children adds another layer of symbolism to this early Renaissance masterpiece. The circular format enhances the sense of unity within this allegorical scene from ancient Greece. Aristotle, renowned philosopher and mentor to Alexander the Great, appears mounted on horseback while Phyllis holds a bridle symbolizing her control over him. Elegantly executed with intricate details, this roundel captures both classical beauty and philosophical concepts. The presence of Cupid further emphasizes the intertwining themes of love and wisdom that permeate throughout. The artist's skillful rendering brings forth an atmosphere rich in meaning where each figure contributes to an overall narrative about power dynamics between genders and intellectual pursuits during that era. This rare impression is printed slightly later from a reworked plate but remains in excellent condition despite minor imperfections. Its timeless allure continues to captivate viewers today as it offers glimpses into ancient philosophy through artistry that transcends time itself
