EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Frozen Tongue" is an exquisite illustration from the Emblemata of Zinne-werk, a renowned work by Johannes de Brune. Created in 1661 by Adriaen Pietersz van de Venne, this engraving showcases the artistic brilliance of the Dutch Golden Age. The scene depicts a humorous and satirical moment frozen in time. A male figure wearing traditional Dutch attire finds his tongue stuck to a block of ice as he attempts to lick it. The comical expression on his face adds to the whimsy of the image, making it both amusing and relatable. Van de Venne's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing not only the intricate patterns on the man's clothing but also the texture and translucency of ice. The vignette style further enhances this charming portrayal, drawing viewers into this frozen world. As part of "Scenes of the Laughable World" this artwork offers a glimpse into everyday life during the seventeenth century while showcasing elements unique to Dutch culture. It serves as a reminder that even in freezing conditions, humor can thaw any icy situation. Preserved within private collections today, this emblematic print continues to captivate audiences with its timeless charm and skillful execution. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance for generations to come.
