EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Zottenkermis, fair" by Pieter van der Heyden captures the essence of a lively and vibrant festival from the late 16th to early 17th century. The image showcases a group of jesters, court jesters, and simpletons engaging in festive activities such as dancing and jumping while blowing flutes and playing mouth drums. The scene is filled with energy as these colorful characters roll balls on the ground, entertaining the spectators. Amongst the jesters stands an owl-like figure making an obscene gesture, adding a touch of humor to the composition. Musicians raise their instruments while spectators sit attentively in a gazebo nearby, enjoying this spectacle at a circular riding school. The artist masterfully portrays every detail of this zotte fair - from the whimsical costumes to the intricate dance moves. This print not only captures visual elements but also includes sayings, phrases, and verses written in Dutch by Pieter van der Heyden himself. Quint Lox's interpretation of this historical artwork brings it back to life for contemporary audiences. With his keen eye for detail and artistic sensibility, he presents us with a glimpse into a world filled with mirthful festivities that transcend time
