EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a scene from the 15th-century woodcut book "Navis Stultifera" (Ship of Fools), specifically Plate 24. This portfolio, assembled in 1929, showcases the artistic school of that era and highlights the allegorical nature of its content. In this image, an allegorical figure is depicted raising loans aboard a ship filled with fools. The figure stands tall amidst the chaos, dressed in antique apparel that reflects the fashion clothing of the time. A jester's hat adorns their head, symbolizing folly and jesters' role as entertainers during that period. The artwork is intricately illustrated on laid paper using letterpress techniques. Latin text accompanies the drawing, adding to its historical significance. The manuscript represents a metaphorical depiction of society's foolishness when it comes to financial matters. Displayed at an art institute in Chicago, this artifact serves as a reminder of our cultural heritage and provides insight into fifteenth-century literature and artistry. It invites viewers to ponder upon human follies throughout history while appreciating the skillful craftsmanship behind each stroke. This print by Master of Bergmann Press Johann Bergmann von Olpe Sebastian Brant Wilhelm Ludwig Schreiber transports us back in time, allowing us to witness both artistic mastery and social commentary intertwined within one frame.
