EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century etching titled "Five boys two satyrs goat" is a remarkable piece of art that showcases the talent and creativity of Wenceslaus Hollar, a renowned Bohemian artist from Prague. Measuring at 138 by 203 cm, this print transports us back in time to an enchanting scene filled with youthful joy and mythical creatures. In the foreground, we see five young boys engaging in various playful activities. One boy stands out as he wears a crown of leaves on his head while holding up a bunch of grapes, symbolizing abundance and prosperity. Behind him, a young satyr playfully lifts another boy onto his back, adding an element of whimsy to the composition. A third boy watches attentively as a fourth holds up a jug, perhaps preparing for some mischief or celebration. Two satyrs are also present in this lively scene - one playing the tambourine and another playing the recorder. Their presence adds an air of mysticism and mythology to the artwork. Meanwhile, grazing peacefully on the left side is a contented goat - an animal often associated with fertility and vitality. This etching by Wenceslaus Hollar beautifully captures both innocence and fantasy through its intricate details and masterful technique. It serves as a testament to Hollar's skill as an artist and offers viewers a glimpse into the vibrant world he created during his time in London.
