EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Imagination proverb Consider you begin Cartoon (Imagination of the proverb Consider before you begin Cartoon on the Arminians, 1618 Versint eer ghy beghint)" captures a moralistic performance that is often interpreted as a cartoon on the Arminians in 1618. The image portrays an intriguing scene where an old man warns a young man against diving into the wide opening of a large horn. Ignoring the advice, the young man proceeds and ends up getting stuck in the narrow end of the horn. Intriguingly, on the right side of the print, a smiling jester looks out from a window and conveys an important moral message. The inscription in the middle further emphasizes this message with "Versint eer ghy beghint" which translates to "Think before you begin". This proverbial saying serves as both cautionary advice and encouragement to consider one's actions carefully before embarking on any endeavor. The print itself is an engraving on paper measuring 288 mm in height and 328 mm in width. It showcases intricate details that bring life to each character depicted within it. While its specific origins remain anonymous, this artwork stands as a testament to timeless wisdom passed down through generations. This print from Liszt Collection invites viewers to reflect upon their own decision-making processes and reminds us all of the importance of thoughtful consideration before taking action.
