EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "A man who lacks faith" takes us back to the 17th century Dutch Golden Age. Created by Adriaen Pietersz van de Venne and featured in Johannes de Brune's Emblemata of Zinne-werk, this engraving showcases a scene filled with symbolism and humor. In the illustration, we see a sailor on a ship during a stormy sea voyage. The sailor is depicted as a man lacking faith, evident from his troubled expression and body language. As he clings onto the mast for support, he finds himself overcome by seasickness, represented by him vomiting into an empty barrel beside him. The artist skillfully captures the essence of human vulnerability through this comical portrayal. The inclusion of a pig nearby adds an amusing touch to the scene, emphasizing the absurdity of the situation. This vignette not only highlights the challenges faced by sailors during their voyages but also serves as an allegory for those who lack faith in life's trials. It reminds us that without belief or trust in something greater than ourselves, we may find ourselves overwhelmed and lost amidst life's storms. Preserved within private collections today, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and narrative depth. Through its timeless message and masterful execution, it stands as a testament to both artistic excellence and human introspection from centuries past.
