EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving created in 1557 by Pieter van der Heyden, based on a pen drawing from 1556 by the renowned artist Peter Bruegel the Elder. The artwork is a satirical representation of a classroom scene during the Renaissance period. In this image, we see a young girl seated at her desk, surrounded by her classmates and their teacher. The Latin caption accompanying the artwork translates to: "You may send a stupid ass to Paris: if he is an ass here, he won't be a horse there". This thought-provoking phrase reflects Bruegel's wit and his commentary on social hierarchy and intelligence. Through intricate details and expert craftsmanship, both artists have captured the essence of this satire. The composition invites viewers to reflect upon societal norms and question whether one's status or location truly determines their worth or abilities. This print offers art enthusiasts an opportunity to appreciate Bruegel's genius as well as van der Heyden's skillful interpretation. It serves as a reminder that great works of art transcend time, allowing us to connect with past eras while contemplating timeless themes that remain relevant today.
