EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a court jester from the 16th century. The subject, wearing a fools cap on his head, is depicted in an oval frame with intricate details. Created by Jacob de Gheyn (II) in 1596, this image showcases the artistry and skill of the Dutch artist. The jester's mischievous expression and playful demeanor are evident as he gazes directly at the viewer. His hands rest casually on his bust, while a marot - a traditional fool's prop - is tipped with a mace beside him. The composition is enhanced by intermediate ovals lartijns that add depth to the overall picture. An inscription in Dutch can be seen at the bottom of the oval frame, adding an authentic touch to this historical piece. The translation reveals further insight into this fascinating character and era. Quint Lox has expertly captured every detail of this remarkable artwork through photography, ensuring its preservation for generations to come. This print allows us to appreciate not only Jacob de Gheyn (II)'s talent but also provides us with a glimpse into the world of jesters and their role within courtly entertainment during that time period
