EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Honour and Virtue" is a remarkable illustration from the Emblemata of Zinne-werk by Johannes de Brune, beautifully engraved by Adriaen Pietersz van de Venne. Created in 1661 during the Dutch Golden Age, this artwork offers a satirical glimpse into the traditional costume and scenes of the laughable world. The image depicts a male figure pushing an enormous boulder while dressed in traditional Dutch attire. Symbolically, it represents how honor and virtue can sometimes betray us. The intricate details and skillful execution of this engraving showcase the mastery of Van de Venne's craftsmanship. As part of The Stapleton Collection, this print holds historical significance as it captures the essence of 17th-century life in Holland. It serves as a reminder that even in times past, satire was used to shed light on societal norms and values. With its vignette style and clever composition, "Honour and Virtue" transports viewers back to a time when emblematic art flourished. This piece not only celebrates Dutch culture but also highlights the timeless themes of human nature that continue to resonate today. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this exquisite print is a testament to both artistic excellence and cultural heritage. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder ensures that admirers can appreciate its beauty for generations to come without any commercial use restrictions.
