EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print, titled "Sic itur ad astra scilicet" created by Romeyn de Hooghe in 1681, offers a fascinating glimpse into the bawdy and scandalous world of Father Petre and his fellow Jesuits. In this scene set within a house of pleasure, we witness an intriguing mix of characters such as Wantonness, Avarice, Sloth, Fury, and Vanity mingling with the priests. The print captures the debauchery that takes place as these religious figures engage in lascivious acts while simultaneously stealing money from a dying person. It is shocking to see how they shamelessly indulge their desires without regard for their sacred vows. Notably, amidst this chaos, we observe a Protestant minister being driven away from the door by these immoral Jesuits. This serves as a powerful commentary on religious intolerance and hypocrisy during that era. Adding to the surreal nature of this image is the presence of a fox delivering a sermon from a pulpit. This whimsical touch adds an element of satire to the piece and highlights how deceitful these individuals can be even when speaking about matters of faith. Overall, this etching provides us with valuable insights into historical events while showcasing Romeyn de Hooghe's artistic talent. Its detailed engravings transport us back to an era where scandalous behavior coexisted with religious fervor - reminding us that human nature has always been complex and contradictory.
