EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing artwork titled "Allegory of the Night" created in 1586 by Hans Bock. Painted with oil on linden wood, this masterpiece measures 79.5 x 82 cm and is inscribed with the artist's name and year on the lower right corner of the pedestal. The painting itself depicts a symbolic representation of nighttime, evoking a sense of mystery and enchantment. The dark hues used by Bock create an ethereal atmosphere, as if one has stepped into a dreamlike realm. The intricate details and delicate brushstrokes bring life to various elements within the composition. Hans Bock, born in Zabern/Elsass around 1550-52 and later settling in Basel until his passing in 1624, was known for his exceptional talent in capturing allegorical themes through his art. In this particular piece, he skillfully portrays the essence of night through symbolism such as stars shining brightly against a deep blue sky, nocturnal creatures lurking amidst shadows, and a crescent moon casting its gentle glow upon all. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate every nuance of Bock's work up close. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries or limitations when it comes to expressing profound concepts like allegories or exploring different aspects of human existence – even those as enigmatic as nightfall itself.
