EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intriguing artwork titled "Blue Boat Die blau schuyte". The image depicts a ship, symbolic of corruption, filled with various characters engaged in debauchery and depravity. At the helm stands a playman, known as a punterman, carrying a stringed instrument on his back and wearing a can on his head. Accompanying him are six more figures, including a fat man lying down with a songbook and two women. Below this scandalous performance lies an inscription in Dutch consisting of four lines arranged in two columns. These verses allude to themes of drinking and indulgence that further emphasize the boat's atmosphere of moral decay. At the top of the artwork is its title written in Latin, French, and Dutch: "Ship of Fools". This piece was created by Pieter van der Heyden from Antwerp between 1559 and 1626-1676. Executed using paper engraving techniques, it measures approximately 230 mm in height by 297 mm in width. The Liszt Collection has preserved this remarkable print for art enthusiasts to appreciate its historical significance. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and social commentary on human folly throughout history.
