Brown Wash Dragon Grotesque Recto Traces Verso Black Chalk Brown Ink Marco Marchetti
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate artwork of Marco Marchetti, an Italian artist from the late 16th century. Titled "Grotesque Satyr Feeding Dragon recto Leaping Centaur (Grotesque with a Satyr Feeding a Dragon (recto); Grotesque with a Leaping Centaur (verso)" this piece is a testament to Marchetti's talent and attention to detail. The image on the recto side depicts a grotesque scene where a satyr fearlessly feeds a dragon. The contrasting elements of beauty and danger are evident in this composition, as the delicate pen strokes and brown wash bring life to both creatures. The viewer is left mesmerized by the mythical encounter unfolding before their eyes. On the verso side, we find another grotesque creation by Marchetti - a leaping centaur. With his skilled brushwork and use of brown ink, he captures the dynamic movement of this half-human, half-horse creature in mid-air. It is fascinating how Marchetti seamlessly transitions between two distinct scenes on opposite sides of this sheet. Created between 1565 and 1588, this artwork exemplifies Renaissance aesthetics while also showcasing Marchetti's unique style within the genre of grotesques. The secondary support adds depth to its presentation, enhancing its overall visual impact. As part of Liszt Collection's extensive catalog, this print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate Marco Marchetti's contribution to Italian art history without commercial implications or associations with any specific company
