No. 2 - He Won't Be A Soldier, May 1,1798
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white etching created by Heinrich Schutz in the 18th century. This humorous artwork, housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, transports us back to a time when war and recruitment were prevalent themes. In this satirical scene set in Britain, we witness a reluctant young man standing at the entrance of a country house. His refusal to become a soldier is evident as he holds onto his clay pipe and tankard of beer with determination. Surrounding him are various animals including goats and horses, adding an element of whimsy to the composition. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; from the intricate architectural elements of the building's doorway to the expressive faces of both men and women observing this amusing spectacle. Through his skillful use of satire, Schutz captures not only the individual's reluctance but also comments on societal pressures during that era. This print serves as a reminder that even in times of conflict, there were individuals who resisted being part of it. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on personal choices amidst external expectations while providing light-hearted entertainment through its clever depiction. Heinrich Schutz's "No. 2: He Won't Be A Soldier" continues to be appreciated for its artistic brilliance and historical significance as it invites us into an intriguing world where humor meets social commentary.
