The Fool Who Prefers Lust To Nurture
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating artwork by Wilhelm Stettler, created between 1660 and 1686. This small yet powerful piece, measuring only 11.5x10.5 cm, showcases the artist's mastery of brush and Indian ink on paper. In this intriguing composition, we are presented with two individuals: a jester or court joker and a donkey. The jester stands tall, his exaggerated gestures and expressions mocking societal norms and belittling virtue. Meanwhile, the donkey symbolizes folly or foolishness. Stettler's skillful use of black and white adds depth to the scene, emphasizing the contrast between vice and virtue. The intricate details in this drawing draw us into its world as we contemplate the complex emotions it evokes. Housed at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK, this work exemplifies Stettler's talent for capturing human nature through art. It serves as a reminder that pleasure-seeking can often overshadow nurturing qualities essential for personal growth. "The Fool Who Prefers Lust To Nurture" invites viewers to reflect upon their own desires and choices while appreciating Stettler's artistic prowess. Through his brushstrokes on laid paper, he transports us back to seventeenth-century Europe where jesters entertained courts but also held up mirrors to society’s follies. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to bring home a piece of history while contemplating timeless themes of human behavior captured within Stettler's masterful creation.
