EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Skating, Pieter van der Borcht (I), Philips Galle" we are transported to a whimsical world where the laws of gravity seem to have been reversed. The image showcases a lively scene on an icy river in Antwerp, bustling with activity and excitement. Amidst the frozen expanse, we witness a group of mischievous monkeys and apes gracefully gliding across the ice on skates. Their antics bring both laughter and awe as they effortlessly navigate the slippery surface. However, not all is smooth sailing for these daring creatures; some have taken tumbles and fallen onto the cold ice below. The spectacle doesn't go unnoticed by their human counterparts who line the banks of the Scheldt River, watching in amazement at this extraordinary display. The cityscape of Antwerp provides a picturesque backdrop to this unique winter sports event. Photographer Quint Lox skillfully captures every detail of this topsy-turvy world, allowing us to immerse ourselves in its enchantment. Through his lens, he invites us to ponder what it would be like if animals could partake in our human activities. This print from Liszt Collection serves as a reminder that sometimes it's important to embrace playfulness and let our imaginations run wild - even if it means turning our world upside down for just a moment.
