About the Item

This delightful original copper engraving by Giovanni Volpato (1733-1803) after a painting by Francesco Maggiotto ( 1738-1805 ) was executed in Venice, Italy, in 1765. A little boy, carrying two daggers and a hoop, is looking up to a man with a walking stick, carrying a drum across his back. We are probably looking at a travelling father with his son, accompanied by three little dogs. Two of the dogs, held by the father in his right hand on a leash, are wearing bonnets and coats. The impression is splendid, clear and strong. There are some stains on the right margin.

Jongleur of the Medieval Times: A Musician's Craft in the Middle Ages, 1847
Located in Langweer, NL
This hand-colored engraving, titled "Jongleur," portrays a medieval entertainer, a precursor to modern-day musicians and performers. The term "jongleur" denotes a versatile artist commonly seen in medieval courts and public spaces, engaging audiences with music, poetry, and storytelling. In this print, the jongleur is shown playing a flute-like instrument, focused intently on his performance. His attire is strikingly colored, with a blue tunic that falls above the knee, allowing for ease of movement during his performance. The tunic is cinched at the waist by a darker belt, which helps to secure his garment during his active profession. Over his shoulders, he wears a red cape, which may symbolize his role as an entertainer, often brightly dressed to stand out in a crowd. He wears tight red hose, a common element of medieval clothing...
