EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching, titled 'The Old Port of Rotterdam' by Johan Barthold Jongkind, transports us back in time to the 19th century. The Old Port of Rotterdam, located in the South Holland province of the Netherlands, was a bustling hub of trade and transportation during this era. This etching, created in 1863, offers a glimpse into the daily life of this vibrant port city. Jongkind, a prominent Dutch artist and a key figure of the Barbizon School, masterfully captures the raw energy and activity of the port. The image is filled with a multitude of boats and ships of various sizes, from small rowing boats to large sailing ships, all docked along the shoreline. The black smoke billowing from the chimneys of the industrial buildings in the background adds a sense of dynamism and intensity to the scene. The etching is beautifully executed on cream laid paper, with intricate lines and delicate shading that bring the Old Port to life. The artist's use of contrast between the dark, inky water and the lighter areas of the sky and buildings creates a sense of depth and dimension. The etching also features a group of men in the foreground, adding a sense of scale and human interest to the composition. This etching is a testament to the artistic mastery of Johan Barthold Jongkind and a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery. It offers a unique perspective into the history and heritage of the Netherlands and the importance of the Old Port of Rotterdam as a center of trade and transportation during the 19th century.
