The Fool Who Sees The Right Way For Himself
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating artwork created by Wilhelm Stettler in the late 17th century. This small print, measuring 11.5x10.5 cm, showcases Stettler's mastery of brush and Indian ink on paper. The image depicts a court jester or fool standing at a crossroads, surrounded by a crowd of people. With his characteristic costume and cap adorned with bells, he stands out as the central figure in this scene. Despite being mocked and belittled by those around him, the fool seems undeterred as he confidently chooses his own path. Stettler's composition skillfully captures both the physical presence of the jester and the atmosphere of mockery that surrounds him. The intricate details of each character's facial expressions convey their disdain for the fool's unconventional choices. This artwork raises questions about societal norms and individuality, reminding us that sometimes it takes courage to follow our own path despite criticism from others. It serves as a timeless reminder to embrace our uniqueness and trust our instincts even when faced with ridicule. Currently housed at Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK, this piece exemplifies Stettler's artistic prowess while offering viewers an intriguing glimpse into 17th-century European society through its depiction of court jesters and social dynamics.
