EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Blind Shepherds" by Antonie Wierix (II) and Willem van Haecht (I), created in 1579, transports us to a topsy-turvy world where allegorical figures and symbolic elements take center stage. The image depicts a landscape scene with shepherds tending to their sheep, but upon closer inspection, we discover a profound message hidden within. In this rebus-like composition, the blind shepherds represent the inability of the government to protect its people from harm. As wolves lurk in the background, ready to attack the unsuspecting population, fear and chaos reign supreme. The broken door symbolizes an open invitation for disaster while foolishness prevails. However, amidst this turmoil stands Christ himself as an allegorical figure of hope and salvation. He holds the law tables representing God's commandments and bears witness to the suffering of his flock. This powerful imagery reminds us that even in times of darkness, divine intervention can guide us towards light. "The Blind Shepherds" serves as a poignant reminder of societal challenges faced during 1579 when this print was created. Quint Lox's masterful capture allows us to reflect on our own modern-day struggles while appreciating art's ability to transcend time and speak directly to our souls.
