EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing print titled "Each believes his owl to be a falcon" we are transported back in time to the late 16th century. The image depicts a man sitting on the ground, wearing eyeglasses and holding an owl in his hand. As he peers through his spectacles, he seems deep in thought, contemplating something with great intensity. The composition is inspired by a popular proverb that suggests each person believes their own opinions or possessions to be superior. This notion is further emphasized by the presence of the owl, symbolizing wisdom and knowledge, juxtaposed against the man's belief that it is actually a majestic falcon. The artist behind this piece is Karel van Mander (I), while Franco Estius provides explanatory Latin verse text accompanying the picture. The inclusion of jesters and marot adds an element of playfulness to the scene, reminding us not to take ourselves too seriously. Quint Lox has skillfully captured this historical artwork from the Liszt Collection, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details and profound meaning centuries later. Through this photograph print, we are invited to ponder our own perceptions and question whether what we believe may sometimes be influenced by our own biases or limited understanding.
