EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cups in Ruined Landscape" transports us to a world of symbolism and history. The image showcases various cups and gourds, each numbered from I to VII, carefully arranged on a wooden nap with a silver base. These cups hold great significance as they represent the beggars of the Geuzen, who were known for their unwavering loyalty to the king until they were left with nothing but their begging cups. The artist behind this masterpiece is Hendrik van Brederode, lord of Vianen, whose attention to detail is evident in every element captured within the frame. The gourds and cups serve as powerful symbols that reflect the struggles faced by these brave individuals. In the background lies a mesmerizing ruin landscape that adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the composition. Jan Goeree's name is mentioned on the object itself, indicating his involvement in bringing this artistic vision to life. Printed on high-quality paper using letterpress printing techniques, this remarkable artwork measures 329 mm in height and 203 mm in width. It serves as a testament not only to its historical context but also to human resilience and strength amidst adversity
