Rector van Krähwinkel giet kennis in het hoofd van zijn leerlingen 1826

"Rector van Krähwinkel giet kennis in het hoofd van zijn leerlingen" (1826) by Johann Nussbiegel is a satirical print depicting a teacher pouring knowledge into the heads of his students, literally. The scene, which likely takes place in a classroom, shows the rector using funnels and bottles to transfer the contents of a large bottle into the heads of his students. The image, which is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, humorously critiques the rote learning methods of the time. It exemplifies the 19th-century Dutch satirical tradition that often targeted social and political issues. The image also provides insight into the educational methods prevalent in the early 19th century.
