EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Luilekkerland, cockaigne" transports viewers to a whimsical world attributed to Pieter van der Heyden, dating back to the late 16th century. The image depicts an enchanting scene filled with intriguing details and hidden meanings. In this fantastical land of Cockaigne, we witness a fascinating juxtaposition of characters and elements. A church stands tall in the background, symbolizing spirituality amidst indulgence. A farmer and soldier lie soundly asleep on the ground while a tree attached table overflows with mouthwatering delicacies. Nearby, a woman with her mouth wide open is surrounded by pesky flies as she yearns for a roast bird. The Dutch verses inscribed throughout the image add depth and mystery to this visual narrative. As our eyes wander further into this candyland-like setting, we discover a clerk lying beneath another tree attached table laden with more delectable treats. Quint Lox's masterful capture brings forth every intricate detail of this extraordinary artwork from the Liszt Collection. The composition invites us to ponder upon themes such as excess, desire, temptation, and societal norms prevalent during that era. With its rich historical context and artistic brilliance shining through each element within the frame, this print truly encapsulates Pieter van der Heyden's imaginative vision of Luilekkerland or Cockaigne - an alluring escape from reality where dreams come alive.
