EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Boy offends the Mayor of Strasbourg by stealing the stick from his clerk, 1671 France" we are transported back to a moment in history filled with mischief and rebellion. The image, captured by renowned print makers Jan Luyken and Pieter van der Aa in 1698, depicts a young boy daringly mocking and insulting the mayor of Strasbourg. With a mischievous glint in his eye, the boy brazenly snatches the stick from the mayor's clerk, an act that clearly offends not only the official but also challenges his authority. The scene is set against a backdrop of bustling streets and curious onlookers who seem both amused and shocked by this audacious display. Jan Luyken's masterful artistry brings every detail to life - from the intricate costumes worn by each character to their expressive faces conveying a range of emotions. Through this print, we witness an act of defiance that transcends time, reminding us that even centuries ago, youth had their own unique ways of challenging societal norms. "Boy offends the Mayor of Strasbourg by stealing the stick from his clerk" serves as a testament to Quint Lox's ability to curate thought-provoking pieces from Liszt Collection.
