EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from centuries ago, showcasing the life of a Blind Hurdy-Gurdy Player known as De liereman. In this mesmerizing artwork by David Vinckboons, we witness the blind peddler being led through a quaint village by his loyal canine companion. The sight of this unusual duo immediately attracts the attention of a large group of children who eagerly follow their every move. As our eyes wander across the image, we notice an old woman on the left side, her weathered face reflecting years of hardship and struggle. On the right, amidst all the excitement, pancakes are being skillfully baked - perhaps symbolizing simple pleasures and sustenance in contrast to the blind musician's challenging existence. Vinckboons' masterful use of oil paint brings depth and vibrancy to this panel artwork that measures 33.8 cm in height, 62.6 cm in width, and 7 cm in depth. The composition effortlessly transports us back to a time where music was not only heard but also felt deeply within one's soul. This remarkable piece from c. 1606-1610 is part of Liszt Collection's extensive archive that celebrates artistry throughout history. Its depiction reminds us of humanity's enduring fascination with both triumphs and struggles faced by individuals like De liereman – whose melodies resonated even though he himself could not see them come alive before him.
