"Ainfi du bien d'autruy leur humeur f'accommode / Quand on les a foulex, et feruis a leur mode. 4" AFTER CALLOT, Jacques; (French; 1592-1635) CRE SCHENK, Leonardus; (Dutch; act. 1720-1746) numero 4 in a series of 18 prints illustrating war in general, with particular emphasis on the vicissitudes of the common soldier. The translation of its inscriptions is:
"These rough courages hide their larcenies in hosteleries / underneath the great name of booty; / They argue on purpose, ennemies of calm, / Not to pay their host, and take even the pots. / Thus of the other's property their mood make the best of / Once they have been satiated and served as they wanted to be." This is a copy by SCHENK, Leornadus, etched in the 18th century. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | TREE : ROBBERY : WAR : HOSTELLERY : SOLDIER : GUN : HOSTEL : WOMAN : MISERY OF WAR : SET : VOLUME : COPY : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
