EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the "Prodigal Son Pig Herdsman Parable" series by Dirck Volckertsz Coornhert takes us on a profound journey through the timeless tale of redemption and humility. The image depicts the prodigal son, who has squandered his inheritance, now toiling as a poultry herdsman for a farmer. In an act of desperation and penance, he finds himself kneeling among the pigs, sharing their meager meal from the crib. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this parable with striking detail and emotion. The prodigal son's expression reflects both remorse for his past actions and gratitude for even this lowly position that allows him sustenance. As he tends to these swine day after day, he learns valuable lessons about humility, forgiveness, and second chances. Coornhert's choice to portray this pivotal moment in such raw authenticity invites viewers to reflect on their own journeys of self-discovery and redemption. Through his masterful use of light and shadow, every line etched onto paper tells a story of transformation - not only for the prodigal son but also for those who encounter this powerful artwork. This remarkable piece serves as a reminder that no matter how far we may have strayed or how much we may have wasted our own legacies, there is always hope for renewal if we are willing to humble ourselves before others. It is an invitation to embrace compassion and seek forgiveness in our own lives while
