EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a unique and exquisite piece of art: the Violin. c. 1705-10 (faience). Created by the Dutch School in the 18th century, this decorative object stands at an impressive height of 63 cms. Housed in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, it is truly a sight to behold. Although this violin cannot be played like its musical counterparts, its tin-glazed earthenware construction makes it a remarkable masterpiece of Delft earthenware. Acquired by collector John Loudon for a record-breaking sum of 1500 guilders in 1876, it was considered unparalleled during that time. The intricate modelling and painted decoration on this faience violin make it an exceptional work of art. Its ornate patterns and delicate craftsmanship reflect the artistic prowess of its creators. The blue and white color scheme adds to its charm and elegance. As we admire this stunning photograph, we are transported back to the Dutch Golden Age when pottery flourished as an important form of artistic expression. This piece represents not only the skillful combination of ceramic techniques but also serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage found within Holland's borders. Let us appreciate this extraordinary fusion between music and visual arts—a true treasure preserved for generations to come within the walls of Rijksmuseum.
