EDITORS COMMENTS
Cornelis Albertus Johannes Schermer's captivating oil painting, Horse Fair on the Maliebaan at The Hague, transports us back to the 19th century Netherlands. The Maliebaan, a popular thoroughfare in The Hague, comes alive with the hustle and bustle of a lively horse fair. The sunlit scene is filled with a vibrant palette of colors and shadows, casting intriguing patterns on the ground. In the foreground, a group of boys and men gather around, negotiating the sale of horses with stable boys. The horses, with their proud and regal demeanor, stand tall, their coats glistening in the sunlight. The sun casts long shadows on the avenue, adding depth and dimension to the painting. The painting captures the essence of the horse fair, with the horses and their handlers preparing for the day's trading. The equestrian profession was an integral part of Dutch heritage, and this painting offers a glimpse into the daily life of those involved. The painting also showcases the scientific accuracy of Schermer's observation of the solar system, with the sun casting long shadows and the position of the sun in the sky indicating the time of day. The painting is a testament to Schermer's skill as an artist, with his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time and preserve it for future generations. Horse Fair on the Maliebaan at The Hague is a stunning example of 19th century Dutch art, with its intricate details, rich colors, and evocative depiction of a bygone era. This oil painting, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, is a must-see for anyone interested in Dutch heritage, history, or art.
