EDITORS COMMENTS
This scene is taken from the play 'Lubbert Lubbertse' or 'the noble farmer' by Marius van Breda, first performed in 1761. The painting, created by Jacobus Buys, transports us back to the eighteenth century Netherlands, where the drama unfolds against the backdrop of a dark and mysterious night. The illuminated facade of the building, with its intricate Rococo details, stands in stark contrast to the encroaching darkness. Two actors, one male and one female, are depicted on the doorstep, deep in conversation. The man, with a serious and menacing expression, clutches a lantern, its light casting long shadows on the ground. The woman, her face illuminated by the lantern's glow, looks up at him with a mixture of fear and apprehension. The other actors, huddled in the background, seem to be engaged in a heated discussion. The scene is set outside, with the dark silhouettes of houses and buildings visible in the distance. The oil on panel painting masterfully captures the time of day, with the darkness of the night gradually giving way to the promise of dawn. The use of color and lighting creates an atmosphere of suspense and intrigue, transporting us to the world of the play and the Rococo era. The painting, now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, is a testament to the rich heritage of Dutch art and the enduring appeal of the theater. It invites us to ponder the concept of drama, both on and off the stage, and the role of the thespian in illuminating the human condition.
