EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print of "Parable of the two blind" we are transported back to the 16th century, where Pieter van der Heyden and Hieronymus Cock beautifully depict a thought-provoking scene. The image portrays two blind individuals being led by an incompetent guide, walking perilously close to a treacherous pit filled with water. The parable depicted in this artwork is derived from Matthew 15:14, which states that if one blind person leads another, they will both fall into a pit. This proverbial saying serves as a cautionary tale about following those who lack knowledge or expertise in guiding others. As we gaze at this print, our imagination takes flight as we contemplate the deeper meaning behind it. It reminds us of the consequences that can arise when we place our trust in someone who is ill-equipped to provide proper guidance. The intricate details and skillful craftsmanship showcased by Pieter van der Heyden and Hieronymus Cock truly bring this parable to life. Through their artistry, they highlight the importance of seeking wise counsel and avoiding falling victim to incompetence. This remarkable piece not only showcases the scope of Latin and French influences during that era but also serves as a timeless reminder for us all – be cautious when accepting advice from those who may lead us astray.
