EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "While maskinge in their folleis all doe passe, though all say nay yet all doe ride the asse" created by Renold Elstrack in 1607, we are transported into a world of satire and folly. The image depicts a group of men and a courtesan vying for the opportunity to ride the ass of folly, symbolizing the foolishness that pervades society. Led by a beggar who fails to convince a judge to participate, this scene highlights the absurdity of human nature. A fool can be seen holding onto the ass's tail, adding an element of comic relief to the composition. Through this artwork, Elstrack masterfully captures both humor and social commentary. The accompanying poem adds another layer of depth to this visual narrative. With its clever verses and stanzas filled with rhyme, it further emphasizes the ridiculousness of those who deny riding on the ass while secretly indulging in its allure. This print serves as a reminder that despite our claims otherwise, we are often drawn towards follies and foolish behavior. It challenges us to reflect on our own actions and question whether we too have ridden on the back of folly without even realizing it. With its intricate details and thought-provoking subject matter, "While maskinge in their folleis all doe passe" invites viewers into an enchanting world where satire meets artistry.
