1548 Backs Balthazar Van Den Bos Bowl Cornelis Floris Ii Hands Hieronymus Cock Rests Satyr Shoulders Wearing Clamped Cochlea Ribs Ridges
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The bowl rests on a cochlea that is sandwiched between the backs of a man and a woman" we are transported back to the year 1548. The intricate details captured by Balthazar van den Bos, an esteemed print maker of his time, bring to life a mesmerizing scene. At the center of the image, we see a beautifully crafted bowl delicately held by the hands of a woman. Her gentle touch showcases her reverence for this exquisite object. Behind her stands a man wearing an intriguing satyr on his shoulders, adding an element of mystery and intrigue to the composition. What makes this artwork truly unique is how it portrays human anatomy in such an unconventional way. The cochlea, typically found within our inner ears, becomes an unexpected pedestal for the bowl. It is clamped between their backs with ridges resembling ribs creating an unusual yet visually striking juxtaposition. As we delve deeper into its history, we discover that this remarkable piece was created during a period when artists like Cornelis Floris II and Hieronymus Cock were pushing boundaries and exploring new artistic expressions. Quint Lox's masterful capture allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also invites us to ponder upon themes such as balance, connection between humans and objects, as well as our own physicality.
