EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Bolinka and Marcolfus" takes us back to the late 15th-early 16th century, created by the talented Daniel Hopfer. Inspired by Hans Weiditz the Younger's work, this etching beautifully captures a legendary couple from German folklore. In this medieval scene, we witness a man and woman standing side by side, holding hands with an air of tenderness. The man is Marcolfus, while the woman is Bolinka. Dressed in traditional attire of that era, their garments reflect the fashion trends of the time. The artist skillfully portrays these characters as they come alive through his intricate lines and attention to detail. Their expressions reveal a sense of familiarity and deep connection between them. As we delve into German history and culture through this artwork, it becomes evident that Bolinka and Marcolfus hold great significance in local legends. They embody tales passed down through generations - stories filled with love, adventure, and mystery. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this portrait serves as a reminder of our rich heritage. It allows us to appreciate not only the artistic prowess of Daniel Hopfer but also the enduring power of storytelling throughout different periods in history. Through this timeless image captured in black and white tones, we are transported to another time - one where legends were born and celebrated for centuries to come.
