EDITORS COMMENTS
Bernhard Keil's 'A Girl and a Boy with a Braizer' (Allegory of "Winter"), painted between 1655 and 1660, captures the essence of childhood hardship and the passing of seasons during the Baroque era. The oil on canvas painting depicts a young girl and boy, both dressed in traditional Danish clothing, huddled around a braizer, or iron brazier, to keep warm. The girl, dressed in a long, dark skirt and a white blouse, gazes directly at the viewer with a determined expression, while the boy, wearing a waistcoat and a cap, looks down at the fire. The painting is an allegory of the winter season, with the braizer symbolizing the warmth and comfort that is needed during the cold months. The use of color is masterful, with the muted tones of the children's clothing contrasting against the bright, fiery red of the braizer. The painting is a testament to the artistic skills of Bernhard Keil, a Danish painter of the 17th century, who was part of the artistic school known as Lenfance. The painting is a valuable heritage piece and can be found in the National Gallery of Denmark, Statens Museum for Kunst, in Copenhagen. The direct gaze of the children, their seated positions, and the wintry location all contribute to the painting's ability to transport the viewer back in time, offering a glimpse into the lives of children during the Baroque era.
