EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Jester with wine cask" created by Jacob Goltzius (II) and an anonymous artist between 1584 and 1630, we are transported to the intriguing world of court jesters. The image showcases a jester sitting on a chair, his arm resting casually on a keg of wine. A tap protrudes from the cask, suggesting that it is ready to be enjoyed. The jester's mischievous expression hints at his playful nature as he holds a book in one hand. Surrounding him is a collection of books neatly arranged in a bookcase, symbolizing knowledge and wisdom. This juxtaposition highlights the duality often associated with jesters - their ability to entertain through humor while also possessing intellectual depth. The presence of the bowl nearby suggests that the jester may be filling it with wine from the cask, perhaps preparing for another round of revelry or simply indulging in some personal enjoyment. Latin inscriptions on both sides add an air of sophistication and mystery to the scene. This print captures not only the essence of court jesters but also reflects upon proverbs and wise sayings related to wine and alcoholic drinks prevalent during that era. Quint Lox has masterfully immortalized this piece from Liszt Collection, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance and artistic beauty today.
