EDITORS COMMENTS
Het Lusthuys van Pater Peters, en de Jesuwijten en Munniken," or "Father Peters' Delight: The Jesuits and Monks," is a provocative and intriguing print from the year 1681, depicting a bawdy house of pleasure where priests, specifically Jesuits and monks, are seen mingling and dining with figures representing vices such as Wantonness, Avarice, Sloth, Fury, and Vanity. The scene unfolds in a dimly lit room filled with revelry and debauchery. In the foreground, Father Peters, a Jesuit priest, is shown engaging in a lascivious act with a woman, oblivious to the dying Protestant minister being robbed of his money at the door. A Jesuit, numbered as figure 2, is seen stealing from the dying man, while another, numbered as figure 3, looks on with a smirk. In the background, a fox, symbolizing cunning and deceit, delivers a sermon from a pulpit, while Jesuits, numbered as figures 4 and 5, help themselves to treasures from India. The vice of Sloth is represented by a monk, numbered as figure 6, who lies asleep on a bed, while Fury, numbered as figure 7, wields a sword and threatens a hapless figure in the corner. This print, created in the late 17th century, was likely produced in response to widespread rumors and allegations of immorality and corruption among the Catholic clergy, particularly the Jesuits. The image serves as a scathing critique of the religious institutions and their perceived hypocrisy, as well as a commentary on the vices that can afflict even those in positions of power and authority. The print's intricate details and vivid imagery make it a captivating and thought-provoking work of art, offering a glimpse into the social and political climate of the time. With its bold use of symbolism and satire, "Het Lusthuys van Pater Peters, en de Jesuwijten en Munniken" remains a fascinating and important piece of historical art, shedding light on the complex and often controversial role of religion in society during the late 17th century.
