EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving, created by Pieter de Jode II in the 17th century, showcases Erycius Puteanus, a renowned Dutch philologist and humanist of the Baroque era. The image captures Puteanus deep in thought, seated at a desk cluttered with books and a bookcase filled to the brim with literature. The man's intense focus is evident as he looks away from the viewer, lost in the world of ideas. Pieter de Jode II, also known as Peeter de Jode the Younger, was a prolific engraver from the Low Countries who is known for his intricate and detailed works. This engraving on paper, which is now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to his exceptional skill and artistry. The image transports us back to the 17th century, a time of intellectual curiosity and humanist exploration. Puteanus's attire and the furniture in the room, including the ornate desk and chair, are all characteristic of the era. The engraving is a reminder of the rich heritage of art and literature that has shaped our cultural history. The image is a captivating glimpse into the life of a man who dedicated himself to the pursuit of knowledge, and it serves as a reminder of the enduring power of the written word. The Art Institute of Chicago's acquisition of this rare and beautiful work is a significant addition to its extensive collection of prints and drawings from the Baroque era.
