A Horse Fair near an Army Camp,
EDITORS COMMENTS
an exquisite oil painting by the renowned Dutch artist Philips Wouwerman, dates back to the late 17th century, around 1665-1668. This masterpiece, a testament to the Dutch Golden Age, showcases the vibrant and bustling atmosphere of a horse fair, with soldiers and civilians intermingling in the encampment's background. The painting is a visual feast of rich colors and contrasts. At the heart of the scene, a group of horses, their coats glistening with sweat, are being inspected by potential buyers. Men in military uniforms, their standards and flags proudly displayed, observe the proceedings with keen interest. A rider, dressed in a red coat and holding a whip, engages in a lively discussion with a horse seller, his face animated with excitement. The scene is filled with a sense of activity and energy. Men in various stages of horse trading, some mounting their new acquisitions, others haggling over prices, create a dynamic tableau. Tents and flags dot the landscape, adding to the sense of encampment and military presence. This painting, a prime example of Baroque art, is a window into the past. It transports us to a time of warfare and trade, of horses and soldiers, of the Low Countries during the 17th century. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, is the proud owner of this heritage art piece, a treasure of European history that continues to captivate and inspire.
