EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing 1630 print depicts the legendary figure of Robin Hood in an unusual encounter with a proud and greedy bishop. The scene unfolds in the lush, wooded landscape of Sherwood Forest, where Robin Hood, clad in his iconic green tunic and feathered cap, approaches the bishop, who is shown carrying a large pouch of gold coins. The bishop, with a smug expression on his face, seems oblivious to the danger as Robin Hood, with a mischievous grin, draws his bow and arrow. The title of the print, "Robin Hood robs a proud bishop of his gold, and makes him sing mass," hints at the unexpected twist of events. In this version of the myth, Robin Hood does not merely take the gold from the bishop; he also makes him sing mass as penance for his greed and pride. The bishop, humiliated and chastened, is shown in the print singing in a simple, makeshift church, surrounded by the forest and the common people. The historical context of this print is unclear, but it is likely that it was inspired by the many ballads and stories about Robin Hood that circulated in Europe during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The image of Robin Hood as a champion of the poor and a defender of the downtrodden resonated deeply with people, and the character became a symbol of resistance against authority and injustice. This print, with its vivid colors and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of myth and history that surrounds Robin Hood. It invites us to reflect on the enduring power of storytelling and the enduring appeal of the Robin Hood legend.
