EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print by Cornelis Dusart, titled "Country Kermis" or "Country Fair," depicts a lively scene of rural celebration on the feast day of St. Martin. The image is filled with vibrant colors and rich detail, capturing the essence of community and joy during this annual cultural event. At the center, a woman in a bright red dress plays a hurdy-gurdy, her expression focused as she creates music from the turning handle. Nearby, a young boy, dressed in simple clothing, plays a flute, his cheeks puffed out as he blows into the instrument. In the foreground, a child rides a hobby-horse, its clay pipe clenched between its teeth, adding to the whimsical atmosphere. Surrounding the musicians, a bustling scene unfolds. Farmers and their families gather around half-doors and Dutch doors of their quaint, red-roofed houses, engaging in conversation or watching the entertainment. Dogs bark and play at the feet of the onlookers, adding to the lively energy of the scene. The itinerant musicians, with their various musical instruments, have traveled from town to town, bringing music and joy to the people. The men, dressed in work clothes, have taken a break from their daily occupations to celebrate and unwind. This beautiful oil on panel painting is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Dutch Golden Age and the importance of community celebrations during this time. The scene is filled with warmth, joy, and a sense of connection, making it a beloved piece of art from the past that continues to captivate and inspire.
