EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century cartoon, titled "Goossen Schaffer, 1710-1720," depicts a judge named Goossen Schaffer, who served under Johan van Oldenbarnevelt during a tumultuous period in Dutch history. The cartoonist has playfully illustrated Schaffer with a squirrel biting into an apple, surrounded by a lush floral border. The apple, a symbol of temptation and corruption, may allude to the controversial 1618-1619 trial of Oldenbarnevelt, Grotius, and Hogerbeets for treason. The intricately designed floral border, filled with vibrant colors and various blossoms, adds a whimsical touch to the serious subject matter. The border also includes the names of the depicted individuals, as well as the years of their service. The cartoon's border design is reminiscent of heraldic art, with its use of a cartouche and lettering. The cartoon's creator remains anonymous, adding to its intrigue. This work of art, executed in aquarelle, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Netherlands during the eighteenth century. It offers a unique perspective on the historical events of the time, and serves as a reminder of the complexities and controversies that shaped Dutch history. This cartoon is a must-see for anyone interested in Dutch history, art, or the intricacies of heraldry. Its playful use of symbolism and beautiful floral design make it a standout piece in any art collection or gallery exhibition.
