EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Old men are carried" we are transported back in time to witness a historical scene filled with emblematic and moralizing undertones. The image, captured by Pieter Hendricksz. Schut and Claes Jansz. Visscher (II) between 1628 and 1650, portrays the struggles of aging through the lens of a person's journey. The focal point of the photograph is a sedan chair, symbolizing both comfort and confinement for its occupants. Within it sits an old man, worn by the weight of years gone by, while being tenderly carried by younger individuals. This poignant depiction highlights the intergenerational dynamics at play – the passing on of responsibility from one generation to another. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image, we cannot help but reflect on our own mortality and contemplate how age shapes our lives. The contrast between youth and old age is starkly evident here; however, there is also an underlying sense of compassion as these young men willingly shoulder their elder's burdens. "Old men are carried" serves as a reminder that life's journey is not solely about individual achievements but also about supporting one another along the way. It urges us to value wisdom gained through experience while recognizing that each stage in life has its unique challenges. Quint Lox masterfully presents this historical gem from Liszt Collection without any commercial intent but rather invites us to delve into its layers of meaning and appreciate art's ability to transcend
