The Fool Who Conceals The Truth
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating artwork by Wilhelm Stettler, created between 1660 and 1686. This intricate piece, measuring 11.5x10.5 cm, showcases Stettler's mastery of brush and Indian ink on laid paper. The image portrays a court jester, known for his jests and mockery, concealing the truth behind his mischievous smile. With every stroke of the brush, Stettler captures the essence of foolery and derision in this seventeenth-century masterpiece. The jester's role as a symbol of deceitful behavior is emphasized through the use of black and white tones, adding depth to the illustration. Through this composition, Stettler invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as dishonesty and hoodwinking prevalent in society during that era. Stettler was a Swiss artist who lived from 1643 to 1708. His collaboration with Caspar Merian (1627-1686) resulted in this thought-provoking artwork that continues to captivate audiences at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. "The Fool Who Conceals The Truth" serves as a reminder of how appearances can be deceiving and challenges us to question our own perceptions of truth and virtue. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded that art has always been an avenue for exploring complex human emotions while provoking contemplation about our own actions in society.
