EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Arnold Houbraken's "Allegory of Variability" from 1710-1719. The artwork is a mesmerizing allegorical scene that explores the concept of variability and its impact on human existence. In the center, we see Father Time, a man with wings and a scythe, symbolizing the passage of time. He points his seeing eye towards an intricate triangle symbol, representing truth. Personified Truth stands atop a pedestal in bas relief form, holding an hourglass and surrounded by symbols such as the sun and burning bush. The nude figure represents humanity's vulnerability to change while standing amidst a forest engulfed in flames. This burning forest signifies the ever-changing nature of life itself. As Father Time turns his gaze towards another figure personifying lies, we are reminded that truth can be distorted or hidden within this world of constant variability. Houbraken masterfully captures these complex ideas through powerful symbolism and meticulous attention to detail. Quint Lox's print allows us to appreciate every nuance of this thought-provoking artwork, inviting us to contemplate our own place within the ebb and flow of existence.
