EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Monkeys on boats competing in a water joust, 16th century" takes us back to a whimsical scene from the past. Created by Pieter van der Borcht in the late 16th century and reproduced as a lithograph in 1906, this artwork showcases teams of monkeys engaged in an unusual water sport. The image depicts monkeys rowing small boats while engaging in a friendly jousting competition. Drummers and trumpeters accompany them on their vessels, creating an atmosphere of excitement and festivity. Onlookers line the river banks, eagerly observing this unique spectacle unfold before their eyes. Van der Borcht's singerie copperplate captures not only the playful nature of these mischievous primates but also provides insight into human leisure activities during the 16th century. The artist skillfully combines anthropomorphism with elements of music and games to create a delightful composition that transcends time. Reproduced as a lithograph over three centuries later, this print allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic merit. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, humans found joy in observing animals' behavior and imagining them participating in our own recreational pursuits. With its intricate details rendered beautifully in black and white, this piece invites viewers to immerse themselves in an enchanting world where monkeys take center stage on boats for an extraordinary water jousting tournament.
