EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hurdy-Gurdy Player, 1695" transports us back in time to the streets of 17th-century Netherlands. Created by Dutch artist Cornelis Dusart, this pen and ink drawing showcases his exceptional talent for capturing intricate details with remarkable precision. In this scene, we see a ragged and disheveled hurdy-gurdy player immersed in his music. The musician's weathered face tells a story of hardship and resilience as he skillfully operates the barrel organ strapped to his chest. His tattered clothing adds to the sense of authenticity, evoking an image of a street performer who has seen better days. Dusart's masterful use of black chalk and crayon creates depth and texture within the composition. Each stroke brings life to the wrinkled skin, worn-out instrument, and surrounding elements that make up this baroque-era caricature. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to house this extraordinary piece within its collection. Through generous support from the Margaret Day Blake Memorial Fund, visitors can appreciate Dusart's ability to capture both the physical appearance and emotional essence of his subject matter. This print not only serves as a testament to Dusart's artistic prowess but also offers us a glimpse into historical street musicianship during an era long gone by. It reminds us that even amidst adversity, music has always had the power to uplift spirits and connect people across time.
