Candle Drunkenness Figure Frans Van Mieris Hendrik Bary Sleeping Woman Verge Wine Chamber Pot
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Wine is a mocker" we are transported back in time to witness a scene of revelry and indulgence. Created by the talented artists Hendrik Bary and Frans van Mieris, possibly before 1670, this image captures the essence of drunkenness and its consequences. The central figure in the photograph is surrounded by elements that symbolize his state of intoxication. A flickering candle casts an eerie glow on his face as he leans against a verge for support. Nearby, a sleeping woman lies peacefully, unaware of her companion's condition. The presence of a chamber pot suggests that excesses have taken their toll on both body and mind. The title itself, "Wine is a mocker" hints at the deeper message conveyed through this artwork. It serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of overindulgence and how it can lead one astray from reason and responsibility. Quint Lox skillfully captures every detail in this print from Liszt Collection, allowing us to appreciate the intricate brushwork and subtle nuances present in Bary's and Mieris' original masterpiece. This thought-provoking image invites viewers to reflect upon their own relationship with alcohol while reminding us that even seemingly harmless pleasures can become mocking vices if not approached with moderation
