EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite design sketch in Chinoiserie style, created by Abraham van Strij between 1763 and 1826, is a captivating example of the European fascination with Chinese art during the 18th century. Van Strij, a Dutch artist of the Low Countries, masterfully captures the essence of orientalism in this watercolor painting. The Chinoiserie style emerged in Europe during the 18th century as a decorative art movement inspired by Chinese culture. This style was characterized by its use of colorful, stylized motifs, often featuring exotic landscapes, mythical creatures, and intricate patterns. In this sketch, Van Strij employs a rich color palette and delicate brushwork to render a serene Chinese landscape. The scene is dominated by a tranquil lake, surrounded by lush greenery and adorned with elegant bridges and pagodas. The artist's skillful use of perspective and shading creates a sense of depth and dimension, drawing the viewer into the scene. The sketch also showcases the artist's mastery of Chinoiserie motifs, with intricate patterns and stylized flowers and plants adding to the overall effect. The use of watercolor paint adds to the ethereal quality of the piece, with the translucent layers creating a sense of depth and texture. This sketch is a testament to the enduring appeal of Chinoiserie art and the influence of Chinese culture on European art during the 18th century. It is a valuable addition to the heritage of European art and a reminder of the rich artistic exchange that took place between different cultures during this period. This sketch is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
