EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Allegory of Marriage" transports us back to the late 16th or early 17th century, showcasing the remarkable talent of print makers Gillis van Breen, Cornelis Cussens, and Theodorus Schrevelius. The image captures a harmonious scene filled with musicianship and love. In this idyllic courtyard setting, a man and woman are seated together, dressed in exquisite period clothing. Their neckgear and costumes reflect the fashion trends of that era. As they sit side by side on the floor surrounded by books and sheet music, their instruments become an extension of their souls. The man skillfully plays his lute while the woman gracefully handles her fiddle. Their synchronized melodies create a mesmerizing harmony that fills the air with consonance. Meanwhile, from a neighboring house, another couple watches attentively as these talented musicians showcase their artistry. Adding depth to this enchanting composition is a Latin verse written by Theodorus Schrevelius himself. Although its translation remains unknown to us today, it undoubtedly adds an extra layer of meaning to this allegorical representation of marriage. Quint Lox's masterful capture allows us to appreciate not only the technical prowess involved in creating such intricate prints but also offers us a glimpse into an era where music was cherished as both entertainment and expression.
