EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and thought-provoking "Allegory of Writing Art Title page for: The Amsterdam political, entertaining and judicious snapper" from 1745. At its center, the personification of Writing is depicted sitting on her lap with a book in hand, directing our attention towards a shield adorned with an image that represents the writing spring van Vader Tijd. As this figure holds up a canvas, it unveils a striking portrayal of a naked woman. To the right of Writing, we witness a putto lifting its club menacingly towards a demonic figure, adding an element of tension to the composition. Above them all, an angel gracefully soars through the sky carrying laurel wreaths and trumpets while displaying a coat of arms. This celestial being symbolizes inspiration for poets and their creative endeavors. The presence of Father Time further enhances this allegorical scene as he appears with wings and scythe in hand. Accompanying him are various devils and demons who contribute to the overall sense of chaos surrounding this artistic representation. Created by Simon Fokke, whose name is mentioned on the object itself, this etching on paper measures approximately 162 mm in height and 125 mm in width. It offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into Amsterdam's political landscape during that era.
