EDITORS COMMENTS
This greeting card, crafted by Johannes Endletzberger around 1810, is a true testament to the artistic ingenuity of the 19th century. The broken column and flaming urn depicted in shades of gray evoke a sense of melancholy and contemplation. Painted with gouache, metallic paint, metallic foil, and embossed and punched paper on silk, this piece showcases Endletzberger's mastery over various mediums. The intricate details of this collage-like composition draw the viewer's attention to every element within it. The golden hues that adorn the card add an air of elegance and grandeur to its overall appearance. Its engraved motto further enhances its meaning as it conveys a profound message or sentiment. Endletzberger's creation beautifully captures the concept of friendship amidst adversity. The burning flames symbolize both destruction and renewal while serving as a reminder that even in times of darkness, friendships can endure. Originating from Austria, this greeting card holds immense historical value as part of our heritage art collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. It serves as a visual representation not only for Austrian culture but also for German craftsmanship during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by Johannes Endletzberger, we are transported back in time to an age where creativity knew no bounds. Let us cherish these timeless pieces that continue to inspire generations with their beauty and depth.
