1645 1708 Country Fall First Last Letterpress Player Second State Costs
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Paye qui Tombe Die eerst valt betaelt de Speelman" by Artokoloro from the Liszt Collection transports viewers to a world of intrigue and mystery. The image, captured in an etching technique by Dutch artist Romeyn Hooghe between 1645 and 1708, showcases a scene filled with symbolism and hidden meanings. In this second state print, measuring approximately 20 5/16 x 15 9/16 inches (51.6 x 39.5 cm), we are drawn into a country setting where the concept of "fall" takes center stage. The phrase "paye qui tombe, die eerst valt betaelt de speelman" is inscribed on the artwork, hinting at a game or contest being played out before our eyes. The composition features various characters engaged in different activities: some falling down while others watch attentively. It seems that there are consequences for those who fall first as they must pay the player's costs. This enigmatic narrative invites us to ponder deeper meanings behind these actions and their implications. Artokoloro has masterfully reproduced this historical artwork using high-quality printing techniques such as letterpress, ensuring that every detail is faithfully preserved. Whether displayed in a gallery or cherished within your personal collection, this print offers an opportunity to immerse oneself in the rich artistic heritage of Romeyn Hooghe's era.
