EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Think" takes us back to the Dutch Golden Age, specifically the 17th century. Created by Adriaen Pietersz van de Venne and featured in Johannes de Brune's Emblemata of Zinne-werk, this engraving offers a satirical glimpse into domestic life during that era. In the illustration, we see a couple seated near a hearth in traditional Dutch attire. The male figure points towards an accident that has occurred - smoke billows from a fire gone awry. This scene serves as a cautionary reminder: "Denck, voor de nood, steeds aan de dood" which translates to "Always think about death in times of danger". The artist masterfully captures both humor and danger within this vignette. The female figure's expression is one of surprise and concern while her partner seems amused by the mishap unfolding before them. It is through these love emblems that Van de Venne skillfully comments on human folly. As part of The Stapleton Collection, this print provides us with valuable insight into the cultural and social norms of the time period. Its intricate details transport us to another world where accidents were met with satire rather than panic. With its rich historical significance and artistic brilliance, this emblematic print continues to captivate viewers even centuries after its creation.
