EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "February" by Pieter van der Borcht (I), we are transported to a winter landscape filled with scenes of strife, lent carnival, and shrovetide celebrations. The woodcutting theme dominates the foreground as a woodcutter diligently collects dead wood in preparation for the cold days ahead. People huddle around a self-built fire, seeking warmth and solace from the biting winter chill. As we gaze further into the image, our attention is drawn to a procession of beggars dressed in tattered garments, making their way through the village streets. They reach out towards houses, hoping for alms from compassionate souls willing to extend their generosity during this time of year. The artist skillfully captures the essence of February's unique atmosphere - a month characterized by both harshness and resilience. The constellation Pisces shines brightly above, reminding us that change is inevitable even amidst these wintry conditions. Quint Lox's masterful reproduction of this historic print from Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate Van der Borcht's intricate details and his ability to convey not only physical landscapes but also emotions and societal customs. This artwork serves as an evocative reminder of how people have endured throughout history, finding ways to survive and celebrate even in challenging times like February.
