1711 Above Chain Fire Fire Place Hangs High Jan Luyken Kitchen Stove
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Woman reaches for the chain from a pot that hangs high above the fire" we are transported back to 1711, witnessing a scene in an old-fashioned kitchen. The image, captured by Jan Luyken and wedded by Pieter Arentsz and Cornelis van der Sys II, beautifully depicts a woman engaged in her daily household chores. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly the woman herself, standing on tiptoes as she stretches her arm towards a chain suspended from above. With determination etched on her face, she aims to retrieve the pot hanging high over the crackling fire. The warm glow emanating from the flames casts enchanting shadows across her surroundings - an ancient stove and rustic fireplace. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into domestic life centuries ago when cooking was an arduous task requiring skill and patience. It reminds us of simpler times when women played an integral role in sustaining their households through their resourcefulness and resilience. Quint Lox's interpretation of this historical moment adds depth to our understanding of past traditions while simultaneously honoring these forgotten heroines who kept hearths burning bright. As we admire this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, let it serve as a reminder of how far we have come while cherishing those timeless values that continue to shape our lives today.
