EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print, titled "Kermis" and painted by the talented artist Peeter Gysels, offers a glimpse into the vibrant world of Flanders during that era. Housed in the esteemed State Museum of History and Art in Serpukhov, Russia, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of a traditional Dutch fair. The scene depicted is teeming with life as people from all walks of life gather to enjoy themselves amidst an array of colorful buildings. The exterior setting showcases a charming village adorned with a majestic church and even a windmill towering in the distance. This amalgamation of architecture reflects both religious devotion and everyday life. Religion plays an integral role in this painting, evident through its inclusion of Christian symbolism such as churches and crosses. However, it is not solely focused on spirituality; it also celebrates entertainment and joyous festivities. The kermis or funfair takes center stage, offering amusement for young and old alike. Gysels' masterful use of oil paints brings forth vivid colors that breathe life into every brushstroke. This baroque-era piece exudes energy through its lively composition while providing historical insight into daily existence during the 17th century in Flanders. As we gaze upon this remarkable work, we are transported back to a time when fairs were cherished social occasions where communities came together to revel in merriment while embracing their faith. It serves as a testament to both artistic talent and cultural heritage—a true gem within the collection
