1697 Beating Friar Jan Luyken Monk Record School Student Two Representations Unconsciousness Corporal Punishment

EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Brother Felix hits student Monks find student unconscious" offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of corporal punishment at school during the late 17th century. This powerful image, captured by Jan Luyken in Amsterdam in 1697, showcases two representations of a distressing incident. In this scene, we witness Brother Felix delivering a forceful blow to a young student while surrounded by his fellow monks. The etching on paper vividly portrays the act of castigating and beating as an accepted form of discipline within educational institutions at that time. The impact of Brother Felix's strike is evident as we see the unfortunate student lying motionless on the ground, rendered unconscious from the brutal punishment inflicted upon him. The artist's attention to detail and skillful execution allow us to feel both shock and empathy for this young victim. This historical record serves as a reminder of how far society has come in terms of education and child welfare. It prompts reflection on past practices that were once considered acceptable but are now recognized as harmful and unacceptable. As part of the Liszt Collection, this photograph print provides valuable insight into our collective history while urging us to continue striving for more compassionate approaches to education and discipline.
