EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Shelter" transports us back to the Dutch Golden Age, specifically the 17th century. Created by Adriaen Pietersz van de Venne and featured in Johannes de Brune's Emblemata of Zinne-werk, this engraving beautifully captures a scene from the laughable world. In this illustration, we find ourselves amidst a stormy day where wind and rain dominate the landscape. A lone male figure seeks refuge under a sturdy tree with his loyal dog by his side. The man clutches onto his walking stick, finding solace in its support as he navigates through life's tempestuous moments. Symbolically, this image represents more than just seeking shelter from physical elements; it speaks to our innate desire for emotional protection and companionship during challenging times. The love emblem depicted here reminds us that even when faced with adversity, we can find comfort in the presence of those who care for us. The intricate details of this engraving showcase Van de Venne's mastery as an artist during the Dutch Golden Age. From the delicate lines that depict each droplet of rain to the subtle expressions on both man and dog's faces, every element tells a story within itself. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of humanity's enduring resilience and our ability to weather any storm with love and companionship by our side.
