EDITORS COMMENTS
This full-length portrait, titled "Portrait of a Family" by Pieter Codde, dates back to the Baroque era of the 17th century. The painting, executed in oil on oak, showcases a Dutch family of five, gathered inside their home. The father, dressed in a black doublet and breeches, wears a neck ruff, while the mother, in a voluminous black gown, holds her youngest daughter in her arms. The two older children, a boy and a girl, both dressed in matching dark clothing, gaze directly at the viewer with an inquisitive expression. The family is accompanied by their loyal pet dog, which adds to the sense of warmth and domesticity in the scene. The use of black colour throughout the painting creates a striking contrast against the white background, highlighting the intricate details of the family's clothing and accessories. The painting is a prime example of the Dutch Golden Age, a period of cultural and artistic flourishing in the Netherlands. The Nationalmuseum in Sweden is fortunate to possess this masterpiece, which continues to captivate audiences with its portrayal of family life during the Baroque era. The painting's direct gaze and the intimate setting invite the viewer to connect with the family and reflect on the universal themes of parenthood, love, and the passage of time.
