EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the world of collectors and scholars. The painting, "A Collector's Cabinet with Abraham Ortelius and Justus Lipsius" by Francken, Frans II the Younger, showcases an exquisite oil on canvas composition that measures 52.5x73.5 cm. In this grand cabinet of curiosities, we find ourselves surrounded by a multitude of objects carefully arranged to inspire wonder and intellectual curiosity. Seated at the center are two distinguished gentlemen - Abraham Ortelius and Justus Lipsius - both renowned figures in their respective fields of cartography and philosophy. The room is adorned with elegant paintings, astrolabes, seashells meticulously displayed as if they were precious gems from distant shores. Each item represents a piece of knowledge waiting to be unraveled; each object tells its own story. This painting captures not only the essence of baroque art but also serves as a testament to the importance placed on education during this era. It reminds us that collecting was not merely about amassing possessions but rather about cultivating knowledge through exploration and study. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene frozen in time, we are reminded of the power that art holds in preserving history for generations to come. This print allows us to appreciate both the beauty within these walls and the intellectual pursuits that drove collectors like Ortelius and Lipsius to create such magnificent cabinets filled with treasures from around the world.
