The Fashion Fool
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and thought-provoking 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 laid paper. The image depicts a court jester, known for his jests and antics, dressed in extravagant fashion of the time. The jester stands proudly with an air of pretension and vanity, embodying the folly that often accompanies excessive pride. Through this portrayal, Stettler cleverly highlights the theme of derision and mockery towards those who prioritize appearance over substance. The artist skillfully captures not only the physical attributes but also the emotions associated with this character. The fool's expression reveals a mix of confidence and vulnerability as he embraces his role as both entertainer and object of ridicule. Stettler's work delves into deeper themes such as human vice and virtue, exploring how our choices in clothing can reflect our inner selves. By using black-and-white illustration techniques, he emphasizes contrasts between lightness and darkness to convey these complex emotions. This artwork serves as a reminder that even in times past, society grappled with issues surrounding identity, self-expression, and societal norms – themes that continue to resonate today. "The Fashion Fool" remains an intriguing piece within the Ashmolean Museum's collection at Oxford University; it invites viewers to reflect on their own relationship with fashion while appreciating Stettler's artistic talent from centuries ago.
