EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the world of entertainment during that era. The illustration depicts a moveable theatre, an ingenious contraption designed to bring joy and wonder to the masses. Intricately detailed, this engraving showcases street performers showcasing their talents on a stage set against a backdrop of towering buildings. The atmosphere is one of celebration and festivity, as people gather around to witness the mesmerizing performances. The moveable theatre itself is a marvel of engineering, with its intricate mechanisms allowing it to be transported from place to place. It served as a platform for various forms of entertainment, from theatrical plays and musical performances to acrobatics and magic shows. This mobile spectacle brought delight not only to those living in Antwerp, Ghent, and Valenciennes but also became an emblematic symbol of cultural celebrations throughout Europe. Created by Johannes Bochius under the Plantin Press in 1602, this engraving captures both the grandeur and intimacy of these historic events. Preserved within private collections today, it serves as a testament to the artistic ingenuity that thrived during this period. As we gaze upon this image from centuries past, we are reminded of how art has always been intertwined with human celebration – transcending time and bringing communities together through shared experiences.
