EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Renard Makes Fun of the Bear" created by Allart van Everdingen in the 17th century, we are transported to a rural setting where animals take center stage. The scene depicts a mischievous fox named Renard teasing an unsuspecting bear, capturing a moment of both cruelty and trickery. Everdingen's engraving skillfully portrays the contrasting emotions between the two characters. The bear, depicted in stark white against the dark background, appears upset and vulnerable as Renard mocks him. Meanwhile, Renard exudes confidence and cunningness as he revels in his ability to outsmart his larger counterpart. This artwork is part of Hendrick van Alcmars' renowned book "Renard The Fox" which explores various fables through illustrations. Through this particular image, Everdingen captures not only the essence of animal behavior but also reflects on human nature itself - highlighting themes such as deceitfulness and power dynamics. As we gaze upon this historic piece from the Netherlands' artistic heritage at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in Amsterdam, we are reminded that even centuries ago, artists like Allart van Everdingen were able to convey complex concepts through their masterful engravings. This print serves as a timeless reminder that sometimes life can be cruel and unfair while urging us to reflect on our own actions towards others.
