About "Jan van Bijlert, Cheerful foursome, eating pretzels, Pulling of the Pretzel - 1630s"

by Atelier Liesjes

About the artwork

The pulling of a pretzel, also called 'treckelingh' in the 17th century, is considered symbolic for man for whom the messengers of God on the one hand and the servants of the devil on the other hand are fighting, a battle between good and evil: 'The life of man is a battle, that noyt as with mankind' and wears off. In his 'Wt-legginghe' the writer elaborates further on the pretzel, strongly emphasising its fragility and its wounded form. The fragility is of course compared to the fragility of human life, but the form - 'ghekrinckelt and ghedraeyt' - is also applied to man.

Whether Van Bylert, as far as virtue is concerned, wanted to express a distinction between the serious couple behind the table, and the rather frivolous looking man and woman on the right side of the composition, remains a question. The gaze of both women could indicate that the pretzel pull should be understood as a symbolic admonition of one couple to the other, cast in the image.

Jan Hermansz. van Bijlert (1597 or 1598 - Utrecht, 13 November 1671) was a Dutch painter who is considered one of the Utrecht Caravaggists. In his later life he painted classicist. He mainly painted genre pieces and portraits. Other names for him are Jan Harmensz. van Bijlert, Jan van Biler, Jan van Bylaert, Giovanni Bilardo and Jan van Bylert.
