EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print from 1681, titled "Het Lusthuys Van Pater Peters" offers a fascinating glimpse into a scene of debauchery and mischief. The artwork, created through an illustrative technique called etching with letterpress, depicts a bawdy house of pleasure frequented by Father Petre, Jesuits, and monks. As we explore the image, we encounter various figures representing vices such as wantonness, avarice, sloth, fury, and vanity. The priests in this scandalous setting engage in lascivious acts and even steal money from a dying person. Meanwhile, outside the door stands a Protestant minister who is driven away. Adding to the surreal atmosphere is the presence of a fox delivering a sermon from an unlikely pulpit. Amidst all this chaos and immorality are hints of colonialism as Jesuits help themselves to treasures supposedly located in India. Each individual figure within the print is numbered with its key contained in dialogue between Eusebius and Simplicius. This historic artwork transports us back to another era when societal norms were vastly different. It serves as both an intriguing historical artifact and an example of artistic expression during that time period. With its aged appearance and retro styling reminiscent of Victorian nostalgia, this print captures our attention with its intricate details and thought-provoking subject matter.
