EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Hen-pecked husband, Harmen Jansz Muller" we are transported back to the Dutch Golden Age, where domestic dynamics and gender roles were on full display. The scene depicts a man named Harmen Jansz Muller, dressed in a robe with his hands on the doorway, while his wife stands nearby in pants holding a lettering tool. The image captures the essence of rivalry between men and women during that era. With an expression of resignation mixed with defiance, Harmen appears to be caught in the clutches of his assertive wife's command. As she pulls at his robe like a hen probing for food, it symbolizes her dominance over him. Love andouille their relationship as greed interferes within their household. Late bossing around and cheating seem to be common themes portrayed through this artwork by Cornelis Danckerts (I). The intricate details showcase not only the skillful technique but also shed light on societal norms prevalent at that time. Quint Lox's expert capture allows us to delve into this fascinating historical moment where power dynamics play out within marriage. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, relationships faced challenges rooted in human nature – from love and desire to control and ambition.
