EDITORS COMMENTS
Dirck Volkertsen Coornhert's engraving, titled "The Third Excuse: the Man who Married a Wife," is a captivating depiction from the Parable of the King Who Prepared a Wedding, created in the 1550s during the Renaissance period. This intriguing image, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), originates from the Netherlands in Europe. Coornhert masterfully portrays a scene of a man, seated with a trumpet in hand, while a woman, wearing a flowing dress, stands before him. The man, with a thoughtful expression, gazes at the woman, who appears to be pleading with him. The background of the engraving features a bustling town with a river running through it, adding to the sense of activity and life. The title "The Third Excuse" suggests that this scene is part of a larger narrative, possibly a parable. The man's attention is seemingly divided between the woman before him and the musical instrument in his hand. The trumpet, a common musical instrument of the era, could symbolize the man's distraction or his inability to fully commit to the woman. The black and white contrast of the engraving adds depth and dimension to the scene, highlighting the intricacies of the clothing and the textures of the town. The geometric patterns and the detailed depiction of the townscape demonstrate Coornhert's exceptional skill as an engraver. This image offers a glimpse into the social dynamics and artistic sensibilities of the Netherlands during the 16th century. The Parable of the King Who Prepared a Wedding, of which this is a part, continues to intrigue scholars and art enthusiasts alike, providing a rich source of historical and artistic insight.
