EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting by Gesina ter Borch, titled "Monk standing with a rosary," dates back to the 17th century and depicts a monk of the Order of the Crosiers in deep contemplation, holding a rosary in his hands. The monk, dressed in the traditional habit of his order, dons a tonsure hairstyle and a simple brown robe adorned with white crosses. The octagonal frame encircling the artwork adds an elegant touch, enhancing the intricacy of the piece. The Dutch Golden Age, a period of cultural and artistic flourishing in the Netherlands, is reflected in this artwork through its meticulous attention to detail and the use of vibrant colors. The monk's profile, with his furrowed brow and introspective gaze, conveys a sense of devotion and piety. The Order of the Crosiers, also known as the Hermits of the Crosier, was a Roman Catholic religious order founded in the 11th century. The monks were known for their ascetic lifestyle, dedication to prayer, and care for the sick and the poor. This painting provides a glimpse into the daily life and devotional practices of these monks during the Dutch Republic era. The delicate use of watercolor paint in this artwork highlights Gesina ter Borch's exceptional skill as a painter. The intricacies of the monk's habit, the texture of the rosary beads, and the subtle shading on his face all contribute to the artwork's lifelike quality. This portrait is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Netherlands during the 17th century and the enduring influence of Catholicism on European culture.
