EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Death Dido Didoos Death Boertig depicted Dutch kleedy" transports us to a scene of profound tragedy and emotion. The image showcases the lifeless body of Queen Dido, impaled on a stake made from branches and furniture. Her pale figure lies in stark contrast against the dark backdrop, symbolizing her untimely demise. In the foreground, we witness a woman consumed by sadness and illness, perhaps representing the grief-stricken state of those who loved Dido. Behind the stake, women gather on the sidewalk in front of a house, their faces etched with shock and disbelief at this gruesome sight. The placard positioned next to the stake reveals that this print was created for Andries Pels' sorrowful play "Didoos Dood". It is evident that this depiction aims to blend elements of burlesque with Dutch aesthetics, as indicated by its title "La Mort de Didon Representee and burlesque à la Hollandoise". Beneath the title lies an accompanying text written in both Dutch and French languages. This adds depth to our understanding of Dido's tragic story - one filled with death, heartbreak, and despair. Created by Simon Fokke in Amsterdam during 1758 using paper and brush techniques, this artwork captures not only our attention but also our imagination. Its intricate details invite us to reflect upon themes such as mortality, loss, and human suffering.
