EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Gambrinus, the legendary king of Flanders and Brabant, who is renowned for his association with beer and brewing. Gambrinus, whose name translates to 'Great-Mercy' in Latin, is believed to have lived during the 11th or 12th century. The exact historical facts about his life are shrouded in myth and legend, but he is remembered as a benevolent ruler who brought prosperity and happiness to his people. The image showcases Gambrinus in regal attire, sitting on a throne with a golden beer barrel at his feet. He is surrounded by jubilant peasants, who are celebrating with mugs of beer in hand. The richly decorated background, with its intricate patterns and vibrant colors, adds to the festive atmosphere. Gambrinus is often referred to as the 'Patron Saint of Brewers' and the 'King of Beer.' According to legend, he discovered the art of brewing and introduced it to the people of Flanders and Brabant. The beer he brewed was said to have extraordinary qualities, granting health, happiness, and longevity to those who drank it. This print, with its lively and joyful scene, is a testament to the enduring connection between beer and community. It invites us to imagine a time when a simple drink brought people together to celebrate life, love, and the blessings of their ruler. The image is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to inspire us today.
