January, a Vibrant Celebration of Twelfth Night in Bergen's Market Square
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the lively atmosphere of January festivities in the historic town of Bergen. The image showcases burghers joyously celebrating Twelfth Night, an ancient Christian tradition marking the end of Christmas and the arrival of Epiphany. In this enchanting scene, townspeople clad in colorful attire fill the bustling market square. A group of musicians passionately play their drums, infusing the air with rhythmic beats that resonate through every corner. Their music sets the tone for a grand procession winding its way towards the majestic cathedral towering over Bergen's skyline. The pagan origins intertwined with Christian customs create a unique blend reflected in this snapshot. As locals revel in merriment and laughter, they honor age-old traditions passed down through generations. Hans Bol's masterful engraving brings to life every intricate detail - from ornate costumes to architectural splendor - offering viewers an immersive experience into this historical moment frozen in time. This remarkable artwork is part of Elizabeth Harvey-Lee's private collection and serves as a testament to Flemish artistry during Adriaen Collaert's era. Its timeless beauty transcends boundaries and invites us to appreciate both cultural heritage and communal celebrations that unite people across centuries. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, let our imagination wander back to those wintry nights when burghers gathered under starlit skies, embracing unity amidst diversity while bidding farewell to winter’s chill – all within
