EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a lively musical party in 17th century Netherlands. Painted by Jacob van Velsen in 1631, this masterpiece beautifully depicts a scene filled with joy and merriment. Held by the National Gallery in London, it is an exquisite example of Dutch Golden Age art. In this vibrant composition, men and women gather together indoors to indulge in their shared passion for music. The room is illuminated by soft candlelight, creating an enchanting atmosphere that adds to the magic of the evening. A man plays a lute while others sing along, their voices harmonizing with the melodies filling the air. Children are also present, eagerly listening and learning from these talented musicians. The painting showcases not only the pleasure derived from music but also highlights various occupations related to it. From vocalists to instrumentalists, each person contributes their unique talent to create a symphony of sounds that resonates throughout the room. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where literature and art intertwined seamlessly with music and entertainment. It serves as a testament to how people found solace and enjoyment through creative expression even centuries ago. Thanks to Alfred Yockney's book "International Art: Past and Present" published around 1915 by Virtue & Company Ltd. , we can admire this remarkable piece today as part of our cultural heritage.
