EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Pack-horse, seated man with staff in right hand, and dog, all viewed from the rear" is a stunning representation of 17th-century Dutch art. Created by Karel Du Jardin as part of his series The Small Landscapes between 1641-1678, this piece showcases the artist's exceptional talent for capturing intricate details. In this image, we see a bearded man sitting on a pack-horse while holding a staff in his right hand. His loyal companion, a dog, stands faithfully beside him. Viewed from behind, their figures blend harmoniously into the landscape painted by Du Jardin. The etching technique employed adds depth to the scene and emphasizes the burden carried by both man and beast. Du Jardin's mastery lies not only in his ability to depict animals but also in portraying human subjects within natural surroundings. This artwork transports us back to an era when horses were essential for transportation and laborious tasks. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this piece serves as a testament to Dutch heritage art. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate Du Jardin's skillful rendering of landscapes while highlighting everyday life during that period. With its timeless appeal and monochromatic aesthetic, this photograph continues to captivate audiences today as it did centuries ago when it was first created by Karel Du Jardin.
