EDITORS COMMENTS
In this thought-provoking print titled "Christ on the donkey, the Pope on a horse" we are presented with a striking visual comparison between two iconic figures - Christ and the Pope. Created by an anonymous printmaker in collaboration with Jan van der Heyden II in 1753, this artwork delves into themes of reformation, Roman Catholic Church, Protestantism, and pride. The image depicts Christ riding humbly on a donkey while juxtaposed against the Pope who is seen proudly mounted on a majestic horse. This stark contrast highlights the differences between these religious leaders and their approaches to humility and power. The Dutch cartoonist utilizes an original sixteenth-century pictorial motif to convey his message effectively. Through this powerful imagery, we are invited to reflect upon our own times and consider the fifty differences that exist between Christ's teachings of simplicity and compassion compared to the grandeur often associated with papal authority. The text accompanying this artwork further enhances its impact by providing additional context for viewers. This piece from Quint Lox's Liszt Collection serves as a reminder of how art can provoke meaningful discussions about religion, society, and human nature itself. It encourages us to question our beliefs and values while appreciating both historical significance and contemporary relevance.
