EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century cartoon, titled "Geraard Beukelsz. van Santen: Wild Boar with Hooded Cloak and Bottle," is an intriguing work of anonymous art that delves into the rich history of Dutch culture and politics. The anthropomorphic image depicts Geraard Beukelsz. van Santen, a judge during the infamous 1618-1619 Trial of Oldenbarnevelt, Grotius, and Hogerbeets for treason. The judge is shown as a wild boar, an animal often used in heraldic imagery and as a symbol of corrupt judges in caricatures. The boar wears a hooded cloak and carries a bottle in its right leg, surrounded by a floral border. This caricature is believed to be a commentary on the corrupt "kangaroo courts" that were prevalent during this period. The intricate floral design and the use of aquarelle techniques add to the beauty and allure of this historic work of art. The cartoon is a fascinating glimpse into the artistic and historical heritage of the Netherlands during the 18th century, and is a must-see for anyone interested in Dutch art, history, or culture.
