EDITORS COMMENTS
Intimate Encounter: Nanny Goat and Kid (1660s)
In this exquisite etching by Dutch master Marcus de Bye, a nanny goat tenderly gazes at her kid as they rest together in the rolling hills of rural Netherlands. Created during the Golden Age of Dutch art, circa 1660s, this print showcases De Bye's exceptional skill in capturing the quiet moments between animals and humans.
The nanny goat's direct gaze is both protective and affectionate, conveying a deep maternal bond with her young companion. The kid looks up at its mother with wide eyes, trusting in her care and guidance. This tender scene invites us to pause and appreciate the simple joys of life on the farm during this era.
De Bye's masterful use of black ink creates a striking contrast between light and dark, drawing our attention to every detail - from the soft texture of their coats to the subtle playfulness in their expressions. As we gaze upon this 17th-century masterpiece, we are reminded that even in times past, animals were cherished for their companionship and value.
This print is part of a remarkable collection held at Te Papa Museum Tongarewa (Museum of New Zealand), offering us a window into the world of Dutch heritage art. Let Marcus de Bye's timeless creation transport you to an era where life was simpler, yet just as rich in beauty.
