EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, known as "A Magnet Stone". Originating from the enchanting region of Therouanne in France (formerly Flanders), this artifact dates back to the fourth quarter of the 13th century, specifically after 1277. Crafted with exquisite attention to detail, it is evident that this masterpiece was created using tempera colors, pen and ink techniques, gold leaf embellishments, and gold paint on parchment. Measuring at an impressive size of 23.3 x 16.4 cm (9 3/16 x 6 7/16 in. ), this magnet stone holds an air of mystery and intrigue. Its intricate design reflects the artistic prowess prevalent during that era in Europe. The photograph beautifully captures the delicate brushstrokes and shimmering golden accents adorning the magnet stone's surface. The play between light and shadow adds depth to its visual appeal while highlighting its historical significance. As we delve into its origins and purpose, questions arise: Was it used for practical or symbolic reasons? What magnetic properties did it possess? How did it contribute to daily life during medieval times? This print from Liszt Collection invites us to explore these mysteries further while appreciating the craftsmanship displayed by unknown artisans centuries ago. It serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history—a tangible reminder of our connection with past civilizations.
