EDITORS COMMENTS
The Refused Caress," an exquisite etching by the renowned Dutch artist Cornelis Bega (1630-1664), captures a poignant moment of unrequited affection in the 17th century. Set against the backdrop of a rural agricultural scene, two figures, a man and a woman, engage in a tender yet complicated exchange. The man, dressed in the traditional attire of a farm laborer, reaches out to caress the woman's hand, who, clad in an elegant dress, recoils in refusal. The contrast between their clothing and their social stations adds depth to the scene, highlighting the class divide that existed during this period. The woman, perhaps a peasant or a woman of higher standing, looks away, her expression one of disdain or disinterest. The man, with a look of longing and determination in his eyes, persists in his attempt to win her attention. This image, with its rich historical context, serves as a reminder of the complexities of human emotions and relationships, even in the simplest of agricultural settings. The black and white medium of the etching adds to the timeless quality of the artwork, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, fashion, or the human condition. Originally created in the Netherlands during the 17th century, "The Refused Caress" is now part of the prestigious collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to draw the attention of art enthusiasts from around the world.
