EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Landscape with two bird catchers, Izaak Jansz. de Wit, 1807" we are transported to a scene that beautifully captures the essence of human occupations during the autumn season. The image showcases two skilled bird catchers engrossed in their work amidst a picturesque landscape. The focal point of the composition is undoubtedly the fowler's tower, standing tall and majestic against the backdrop of a castle. It serves as both a vantage point for observation and a place for rest as we see one fowler comfortably seated within it. Surrounding them are lush trees adorned with vibrant foliage, creating an enchanting atmosphere. Nets are intricately strung across the field, forming an intricate web designed to capture finches fluttering through the air. These delicate creatures become unwitting subjects in this age-old practice known as fowling or finchery. The artist, Izaak Jansz. de Wit, skillfully portrays every detail of this labor-intensive occupation while also highlighting nature's beauty and harmony within its surroundings. Quint Lox has masterfully captured this print from Liszt Collection without any commercial intentions but rather to celebrate artistry and historical significance. This evocative piece invites us to reflect on our relationship with nature and appreciate how humans have long found ways to coexist with it while pursuing their livelihoods throughout different seasons and months of the year.
