EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite piece of 16th-century art, titled "Auricular Cartouche with Figures within a Strapwork Frame from Veederley Veranderinghe". Created by the talented Dutch artists Johannes van Doetecum I and Lucas van Doetecum, this architectural masterpiece is a testament to the decorative arts of the Netherlandish heritage. The artwork features a symmetrical strapwork frame adorned with intricate details and bizarre creatures. The concept behind this cartouche reflects the fascination with grotesque elements prevalent during the 16th century. The etching technique used in its creation adds depth and texture to every stroke, making it truly mesmerizing. Within this elaborate frame, figures emerge, seemingly trapped within their own world. This nautical scene transports us to distant seas and unknown lands. It evokes a sense of exploration and curiosity that characterized this era of geographical discovery. As we admire this remarkable piece at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are reminded of Cornelis Floris II's influence on Jan van Doetechum's work after his father's passing. Their collaboration resulted in an exceptional fusion of creativity and craftsmanship. With its rich historical significance and stunning aesthetics, this auricular cartouche serves as a window into the artistic wonders of the past. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and our enduring desire for beauty in all forms.
