The Mathematicians or the Young Lady Who Fled - The Dispute between Doctors Rsbollius and Urinaal
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating pastel print that takes us back to 18th century Holland. Painted by Cornelis Troost, this artwork measures 66x85.3 cm and can be found in the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague. In this scene, we witness a lively gathering of wealthy gentlemen engaged in an animated discussion about models of the solar system. They have taken their debate to another level by using food placed on the floor to represent celestial bodies. This playful yet intellectual approach adds a touch of whimsy to their scholarly pursuits. The painting is based on a scene from "The Mathematicians" by P. Langendijk, which satirizes scholasticism. It offers us a glimpse into Dutch society during the Rococo period, with its opulent interiors adorned with ornate clocks and elegant furnishings. Amidst the group of scholars, we notice a servant attending to their needs while they indulge in their scientific argumentation under candlelight. A small dog curiously observes from beneath one gentleman's chair as he leans on his walking stick. Troost's meticulous attention to detail captures not only the fashion trends of powdered wigs and buckled shoes but also highlights the wealth and status associated with these learned men. "The Mathematicians or the Young Lady Who Fled" invites us into an intriguing world where science meets satire, offering both entertainment and insight
