EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, created by Dutch artist Jan Brandes in 1775, depicts the picturesque village of Wehl in the province of Gelderland, Netherlands. Situated an hour's walk from the city of Doetinchem, the village is nestled along an unpaved thoroughfare, with quaint houses lining both sides. In the distance, the spire of the village church stands tall, symbolizing the strong Christian faith that permeated the community during the 18th century. Children are seen frolicking in the foreground, adding a touch of playfulness to the scene. A woman in traditional Dutch attire pushes a wheelbarrow, likely on her way to tend to her vegetable garden. The village, with its simple yet charming architecture, exudes a sense of tranquility and rural charm. Brandes' meticulous sketchbook entry, found on page 23 of his dl. 1 volume from 1808, provides a glimpse into the daily life of the villagers during this era. The use of pencil and watercolor paints brings the scene to life, showcasing the rich colors and textures of the Low Countries. This artwork, now preserved in the Rijksmuseum, offers a window into the past and serves as a reminder of the beauty and simplicity of rural life in 18th century Europe.
