The Lazy Service-Messenger Jester
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating 17th-century artwork created by Wilhelm Stettler. This small print, measuring 11.5x10.5 cm, showcases the artist's mastery of brush and Indian ink on paper. Currently housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK, this piece offers a glimpse into the world of court jesters during that era. Stettler's intricate drawing depicts a jester lazily lounging beside a spinning wheel, embodying idleness and slothfulness – one of the seven deadly sins. The jester's relaxed posture and nonchalant expression suggest his indifference towards his duties as a service-messenger. The artist skillfully captures both mockery and derision through fine details such as exaggerated facial features and belittling gestures. Through this portrayal, Stettler invites viewers to reflect upon society's tendency to make fun of those who are tasked with important messages or announcements. This black-and-white illustration serves as an artistic commentary on virtue versus vice within European culture during the early 17th century. It reminds us of the importance of diligence and hard work while highlighting the folly in succumbing to laziness. "The Lazy Service-Messenger Jester" stands as a testament to Stettler's talent for capturing human emotions through his artistry. Its inclusion in the Ashmolean Museum collection ensures its preservation for future generations to appreciate and contemplate upon its timeless message about human nature.
