The Skaters,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating engraving by Cornelis de Visscher, dating back to the 17th century, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Dutch agricultural community during the Dutch Golden Age. The intricately etched and engraved image on cream laid paper portrays a lively and intimate scene of a farm interior. At the heart of the composition, a grand fireplace warms the room, while an elderly woman, dressed in traditional attire, tends to the fire. Surrounding her are various members of the family, including men and women of all ages, engaged in their respective tasks. A farmer, identified by his sturdy boots and work clothes, stands near the fireplace, while children play at his feet. A farmhand, holding a pitchfork, looks on, and an elderly man sits quietly in the corner, perhaps deep in thought. The high ceiling, adorned with architectural features, adds a sense of grandeur to the scene. The etching and engraving, executed with remarkable detail, invites viewers to explore the rich heritage of Dutch agriculture and the diverse roles within the farming community during this period. This evocative work of art, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, continues to captivate and inspire audiences with its authentic portrayal of daily life in the Low Countries during the Dutch Golden Age.
