EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Bishops at a table and drunken bishops asleep in a room" captured by Jan Luyken, Jacobus van Hardenberg, and Barent Visscher in 1701, we are transported to an intriguing scene from early Christian history. The image portrays a group of Christian bishops gathered around a well-furnished table, engaged in lively conversation and indulging in food and drink. As the night progresses, the atmosphere takes on a more raucous tone as some of the bishops succumb to their merriment. Drunkenness overtakes them, leading to an unexpected turn of events. In contrast to the animated scene at the table, another part of the room reveals several bishops fast asleep amidst their intoxicated state. The composition beautifully captures both sides of human nature - camaraderie and revelry alongside vulnerability and exhaustion. It serves as a reminder that even those entrusted with spiritual leadership can be susceptible to earthly pleasures. This thought-provoking artwork invites us to reflect upon our own actions and choices while shedding light on historical practices within religious circles. Quint Lox's presentation of this mesmerizing piece from Liszt Collection allows us to delve into these complex themes without commercial intent but rather for appreciation and contemplation purposes only.
