Private Meal
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite oil painting by the Flemish artist Jan Baptist Lambrechts, created in the early 18th century. The captivating image transports us back in time to an intimate setting of a couple enjoying a quiet moment at an inn or tavern. The scene is set indoors, with the couple seated at a simple yet rustic dining table. The table, made of a wooden board balanced over a barrel, is a common furniture arrangement during this period in the Netherlands and Flanders, Belgium. The man, dressed in a fashionable 18th-century outfit, wears a long coat with a waistcoat and breeches. His attire is complemented by a hat adorned with a feather. The woman, elegantly dressed in a colorful dress with an intricate pattern, completes the scene with a delicate cap on her head. The couple's table is laden with food and drink, symbolizing the warmth and hospitality of the inn. A steaming bowl of soup sits in the center, accompanied by a plate of bread and a platter of meat. A beer mug and a wine glass are placed within easy reach, adding to the inviting atmosphere. The painting's rich colors and intricate details showcase the artist's mastery of oil painting. The barrels in the background, filled with liquor, add to the authenticity of the scene, further emphasizing the era's heritage and traditions. This painting, now housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to appreciate the simple pleasures of life and the warmth of human connection. The couple's private moment, immortalized by Jan Baptist Lambrechts, continues to resonate with viewers, transcending time and culture.
