EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Long-haired man with snottebel" we are transported back to the 17th century, where Pieter Jansz. Quast and Frederik de Wit brilliantly capture the essence of a fool or simpleton. The long-haired man in question is depicted with an unmistakable snottebel hanging from his nose, creating a comical yet endearing image. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable - every strand of hair, every wrinkle on the man's face, and even the movement of the snottebel itself is meticulously captured. It almost feels as if we can see it swaying gently as he moves. Fools have always been a subject of fascination throughout history, serving as both entertainment and social commentary. This print perfectly encapsulates that tradition by showcasing the foolishness and naivety associated with such characters. Pieter Jansz. Quast and Frederik de Wit were masters at their craft, known for their ability to bring humor and satire to life through their prints. Their collaboration on this particular piece showcases their artistic prowess and wit. As we admire Quint Lox's reproduction of this historical gem from Liszt Collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its significance in capturing a moment in time when fools roamed freely, reminding us all not to take ourselves too seriously.
