EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Ninth life phase of ninety years of man's life, Nicolaes de Bruyn, 1598 - 1602" captures a powerful and thought-provoking scene. In this image by Quint Lox from the Liszt Collection, we witness an old male human in his ninth decade of life, facing the inevitable passage into death. With a skeleton looming behind him, symbolizing mortality itself, the aged man relies on a cane for support. However, what strikes us most is the intense expression on his face – a mix of determination and defiance. He clutches onto a rope tightly as he tries to maintain balance amidst children who are eagerly attempting to topple him over. In this poignant depiction, we see how even at such an advanced age, this individual refuses to let go or stumble easily. Armed with a bat ready for defense against those who seek to bring him down metaphorically or physically; he stands firm against their efforts. Texts in Latin, French and Dutch surround the margins of the image providing further insight into themes related to overthrowing societal norms and making one's mark despite advancing age. The inclusion of these texts adds depth and complexity to our understanding of this visual narrative. Through Quint Lox's lens and artistic interpretation in "Ninth life phase" we are compelled to reflect on our own mortality while also celebrating resilience in the face of adversity.
