EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Cadmus asked the Delphic oracle what he has to do" created by G. Rijckius and Robert de Baudous in 1615, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in Greek mythology. Cadmus, the legendary founder of Thebes, seeks guidance from the revered Delphic oracle. The scene is filled with anticipation as Cadmus stands before the imposing figure of the oracle, who sits atop her sacred tripod. Bathed in ethereal light streaming through an arched window, she holds a laurel branch symbolizing prophecy and wisdom. Her enigmatic gaze suggests that she possesses knowledge beyond mortal comprehension. Cadmus' posture reflects his earnestness and determination as he leans forward attentively, awaiting her response. His hand rests on his sword hilt, signifying both his readiness for action and his understanding that this encounter may shape his destiny. The intricate details of this engraving bring life to every element: from the delicate folds of fabric draping over Cadmus' shoulder to the ornate patterns adorning the walls behind him. The masterful use of shading adds depth and dimensionality to each figure present. This print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and storytelling prowess. It captures a timeless moment when mortals sought divine counsel amidst uncertainty—a theme that resonates across cultures throughout history. As we admire this piece from Artokoloro's Liszt Collection, let us reflect upon our own quests for guidance
