EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing print titled "Dirty Bride or Wedding of Mopsus and Nisa" we are transported to a lively and comical wedding feast. The talented print makers Pieter van der Heyden, Pieter Brueghel I, and Cornelis van Tienen have beautifully captured the essence of this festive occasion. The scene unfolds within a ragged tent adorned with feathers, where the groom Mopsus stands proudly wearing a hat. His bride Nisa appears slovenly yet charming in her tattered wedding gown. As they exchange vows, a little boy walks by clutching his piggy bank, perhaps symbolizing the importance of financial stability in marriage. A musician plays his instrument while sitting next to a basket filled with heads - an unusual sight that adds an element of surprise to the composition. Nearby, another figure wields a knife while holding onto a coal shovel, creating an interesting juxtaposition between domesticity and violence. In the background, we catch glimpses of a castle surrounded by trees and moat - reminding us that love can flourish even amidst less than ideal circumstances. Latin inscriptions scattered throughout the image further enhance its intellectual appeal. This print is sure to captivate viewers with its intricate details and humorous narrative. Quint Lox's expertise in curating such remarkable pieces from Liszt Collection shines through once again as he presents us with this delightful artwork capturing both beauty and humor in one frame.
