EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative watercolor painting, titled "Street scene in an Italian city" by Nicolaes van der Waay, transports us back in time to the late 19th century in Italy. The artist masterfully captures the vibrant energy and rich cultural heritage of the Italian streets, filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of daily life. In the foreground, a group of boys clad in traditional Italian costumes, their bare feet calloused from the cobblestones, playfully interact with each other, balancing baskets atop their heads. Nearby, a woman in a colorful, flowing dress, her feet shod in high-heeled shoes, sells lemons and Chianti wine from a low wooden cart. A boy, his shirt untucked and sleeves rolled up, reaches for a bottle, his expression one of delight at the prospect of a refreshing drink. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of other street vendors, their boxes and crates overflowing with various goods, and the bustling activity of passersby, both men and women, dressed in the fashions of the time. The warm, sunlit streets, dotted with the red tiles of buildings and the vibrant hues of the clothing, create a rich tapestry of life in an Italian city during this era. This stunning watercolor, created by Nicolaes van der Waay between 1865 and 1892, is a testament to the artist's skillful use of watercolor paint and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time. A true treasure of European art history, this painting is a must-see for anyone interested in the social and cultural history of the late 19th century and the rich heritage of the Italian peninsula.
