The Fool Who Carries On Both Armpits, 1660-86
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and whimsical artwork by Wilhelm Stettler. This intriguing piece, created with brush and Indian ink on paper, measures 11.5x10.5 cm and is housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford. Stettler's work showcases his exceptional talent for capturing intricate details and evoking emotions through his art. The central figure in this composition is a court jester, portrayed as a man with an amusingly absurd characteristic - carrying objects under both armpits. The jester's comical expression adds to the lightheartedness of the scene. Surrounding the jester are various elements that contribute to the overall narrative of the artwork. A mischievous puppy playfully chases rabbits amidst a picturesque landscape, while hunters engage in their pursuit nearby. Stettler skillfully combines these elements to create a sense of escapism and folly. The use of black and white enhances the contrast between light and shadow, adding depth to each element within the composition. Stettler's attention to detail can be seen not only in his portrayal of human figures but also in his depiction of animals such as dogs and rabbits. "The Fool Who Carries On Both Armpits" invites viewers into a world where virtue meets vice, where humor intertwines with mockery. It serves as a reminder that even within serious contexts like hunting or courtly life, there is room for laughter and jesting.
