Beschreibung
P. Bruegel the Elder, by P. vd Heyden - Battle of Money Bags and Strong Boxes / Description: Engraving, circa 1556-1570. Third state (of 3). Engraved by Pieter van der Heyden. A superb, evenly printed impression with strong contrasts on cream laid paper. Hollstein 146, Bastelaar 146, Lebeer 54. The Battle of the Money Bags and Strong Boxes. A number of pottery banks (money bags) approach from the left to do battle with the treasure chests, barrels and strong boxes on the right; coins and broken boxes and bags litter the foreground. / Dimensions: 23,60 x 30,60 cm / Condition: A superb, evenly printed impression with strong contrasts on cream laid paper. The print is complete with full plate borders and half centimeter margins. / Literature: Hollstein / Dutch and Flemish etchings, engravings and woodcuts c.1450-1700 (53) --- New Hollstein (Dutch & Flemish) / The New Hollstein: Dutch and Flemish etchings, engravings and woodcuts 1450-1700 (33.III) --- Bastelaer 1908 / Les estampes de Peter Bruegel l'ancien (146) --- Lebeer 1969 / Catalogue raisonné des estampes de Bruegel l'ancien (54) --- Riggs 1977 / Hieronymus Cock, Printmaker and Publisher (42) ----------------- Latin verses in lower margin: “What are all these riches, such an enormous pile of shiny golden metal, the chest filled with new coins? Between such great temptations and the bands of thieves, the cruel grappling hook shall serve as a sign for all: the booty makes the thief, all evil is born of glowing desire, and the cruelly gained booty fits the plunderer.” Dutch verses in lower margin: “Go to it, you money-boxes, barrels, and chests. It's all about money and goods, this fighting and quarreling. Even if someone tells you otherwise, don't believe it. We thus bear on our standards the hook, which never has failed us. They try to weaken us, but one would not wage war against the other if there was nothing to plunder.” --------------------------------- The first edition lettered "Aux Quatre Vents" was probably published by Cock's widow, Volcxken Diercx, after Cock's death in 1570. Given that this would place the print after Bruegel's own death in 1569, it is likely that this was a design intended by Bruegel for engraving, but which had not yet been carried out at the time of his death. This would likely place its execution in the early 1570s. See Riggs, p. 55. / Medium: Engraving /Circa: Ca. 1556-1570
