Fastening the Skate, 1743
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Nicolas Lancret that beautifully captures a moment in time. The scene depicts a couple in the midst of preparing for an ice skating adventure. With delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors, Lancret transports us to a winter wonderland. Commissioned by Carl Gustaf Tessin, a Swedish count and politician known for his love of skating, this painting holds deeper meaning beyond its picturesque setting. As we observe the man's focused gaze while fastening the woman's skate, there are subtle hints of romance and intimacy between them. It is as if their shared passion for skating has brought them closer together. Set against the backdrop of parkland and rural scenery, Lancret skillfully portrays not only the act of tying on skates but also an atmosphere filled with flirtation and pleasure. This outdoor entertainment enjoyed by aristocrats during the Baroque era was often depicted in French art as fêtes galantes or elegant outdoor gatherings. With its Rococo style characterized by idyllic scenes and playful themes, "Fastening the Skate, 1743" invites viewers to step into this enchanting world where love blossoms amidst winter festivities. This masterpiece from Lancret serves as a timeless reminder that even in simpler times, joy can be found through shared experiences and amorous connections.
