The Angry Fool
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and thought-provoking artwork created by Wilhelm Stettler in the late 17th century. This small print, measuring 11.5x10.5 cm, showcases Stettler's mastery of brush and Indian ink on laid paper. The image depicts a jester or court fool mounted on a horse, his face contorted with anger and bitterness. The artist skillfully captures the intensity of his emotions through bold brushstrokes and intricate details. The fool's rage is palpable, evoking a sense of turmoil within the viewer. This powerful representation explores themes of human emotion and folly, highlighting the seven deadly sins that plague mankind. Through this work, Stettler invites us to reflect upon our own feelings and actions, reminding us of our capacity for both virtue and vice. The composition also showcases Stettler's expertise in capturing movement as he portrays the horse mid-gallop with great dynamism. The black-and-white color scheme further enhances the dramatic impact of the scene. Housed at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK, this artwork stands as a testament to Stettler's artistic prowess during an era marked by political upheaval and social change. "The Angry Fool" continues to captivate viewers centuries later with its timeless depiction of human nature and its ability to provoke introspection.
