The Fool Who Postpones Everything Until Tomorrow
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating artwork by Wilhelm Stettler, created between 1660 and 1686. This small yet powerful piece, measuring just 11.5x10.5 cm, showcases Stettler's mastery of brush and Indian ink on paper. The image depicts a court jester, known for his foolish antics and mockery of others. In this portrayal, the jester embodies laziness and idleness as he lounges in a state of slothfulness. The artist skillfully captures the essence of the foolery through intricate details that highlight the man's lackadaisical posture. Stettler's work delves into deeper themes as well, exploring the concept of vice versus virtue. By portraying one of the seven deadly sins - laziness - he invites viewers to reflect upon their own tendencies towards procrastination. The black-and-white composition adds to its timeless appeal while emphasizing the stark contrast between light and shadow within the drawing. The use of brushwork creates texture and depth, bringing life to every stroke. This print is housed in Ashmolean Museum at University of Oxford in UK where it stands as a testament to Stettler's artistic prowess during the seventeenth century. It serves as a reminder that even though time may pass, human nature remains constant; we are all susceptible to moments when we postpone everything until tomorrow
