The Badger Sent as Messenger - An Allegorical Tale from the 17th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The Badger Sent as Messenger" a remarkable artwork created by Allart van Everdingen in the mid-17th century. The Dutch artist, known for his mastery of etching, skillfully brings to life an allegorical scene filled with anthropomorphic animals. In this intriguing composition, we witness a unique blend of artistry and storytelling. The badger takes center stage as he assumes the role of a messenger, carrying an important message within the animal kingdom. Surrounding him are other creatures such as foxes and various woodland beings, all personified with human-like characteristics. Everdingen's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his etching technique. The intricate lines and shading create depth and texture that bring these mythical characters to life. Through this work, he explores themes of fable and folklore prevalent during the time period. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this piece stands as a testament to Everdingen's artistic brilliance and cultural significance within the Low Countries' artistic school. It serves not only as a visual delight but also invites viewers into a world where animals become messengers conveying profound messages. As we admire "The Badger Sent as Messenger" let us appreciate its historical value while marveling at how art continues to transcend time, bridging gaps between centuries through its enduring beauty and thought-provoking narratives.
