EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing print titled "Peddler robbed by monkeys" captured in 1562 by Pieter van der Heyden and Hieronymus Cock, we witness a comical yet chaotic scene unfold. The image portrays a peddler who has fallen victim to mischievous monkeys and apes, as they take advantage of his slumber. As the sleeping merchant rests unaware, the cunning primates seize the opportunity to playfully ridicule him. One monkey opens the peddler's basket filled with merchandise while another contently loosens his pants. In an act of sheer audacity, one mischievous creature even pinches its nose due to an apparent stench or perhaps for mere amusement. Adding further hilarity to the situation, a monkey perched atop the peddler's hat leads a group of dancing companions who make music using various objects found nearby. Meanwhile, another daring primate releases itself from confinement within the merchant's pants and leaves an unexpected surprise behind. This piece captures both humor and chaos in equal measure. It serves as a reminder that even when we least expect it, life can throw unexpected challenges our way – whether through playful mischief or unforeseen circumstances. Quint Lox masterfully presents this timeless artwork from Liszt Collection without mentioning any commercial use but rather invites us to appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
