EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Man dressed fur warming coal fire Title page" takes us back to the year 1685, as depicted in P. M. de la Martiniere's book "De noordsche weereld". The image showcases a man donned in luxurious fur coats, seeking warmth by a crackling coal fire. In his grasp, he holds two harpoons, hinting at an adventurous spirit and perhaps suggesting his involvement in hunting or whaling. Surrounding this figure are fascinating creatures of the Arctic landscape. A walrus and bear stand beside him, both adorned with collars that imply some form of domestication or control over these wild animals. A fox also finds its place nearby, adding an element of cunning and agility to the scene. In the distance, we catch glimpses of reindeer roaming freely while a whale hunt unfolds at sea. This juxtaposition between land and water highlights the diverse activities undertaken by humans for survival during that era. Jan Luyken skillfully etched this intricate composition on paper with remarkable precision. The dimensions of this print measure 178 mm in height and 141 mm in width. As we observe this artwork from centuries ago, it invites us to reflect on humanity's relationship with nature and our constant quest for warmth amidst challenging environments.
