EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Peasants Sorrow Boerenverdriet" we are transported to a scene that encapsulates the stark contrast between social classes in 17th century Europe. A group of opulently dressed townspeople have gathered inside a humble farmhouse, indulging themselves in the food and drink of the hardworking farmers. To the left of the frame, our attention is drawn to a farmer who has brought a basket overflowing with fresh fruits and vegetables. However, instead of being treated with gratitude or respect, he is forcibly forced onto his knees by an unseen force. The anguish on his face reflects the power dynamics at play during this era. At the center of it all sits an elegant woman at a table, cradling a peeing child on her lap. This juxtaposition highlights both privilege and vulnerability within society. Meanwhile, anxious farmers observe from afar - their expressions revealing their concern for what lies ahead. This thought-provoking artwork was created by David Vinckboons (I) or possibly his workshop around 1619. Painted on panel using oil paint, it measures approximately 29.5 cm in height, 41.6 cm in width, and 5 cm in depth. The Liszt Collection brings us this remarkable glimpse into history; reminding us not only of societal disparities but also prompting reflection on themes such as power dynamics and human resilience against adversity.
