Bedchamber Candle Delft Depiction Father Made Mezzotint Painter Portraits Printmaking Reproduced The Hague Artificial Light Dutch Painter Nicholas Verkolje Schalcken Verkolje
EDITORS COMMENTS
This mezzotint print, titled "Young Woman Holding Candle Bedchamber" transports us back to a bygone era. The image depicts a young woman elegantly holding a flickering candle in the intimate setting of her bedchamber. The soft glow of the candlelight illuminates her delicate features and casts gentle shadows on the surrounding walls. Created by Nicholas Verkolje, a renowned Dutch painter from Delft, this print is an exquisite reproduction of an original work by Godfried Schalcken. Verkolje, known for his mastery in portraiture and subject pictures, skillfully captures the essence of Schalcken's design. The use of artificial light in this artwork is particularly noteworthy. Schalcken was celebrated throughout Europe as both a painter and etcher who excelled at depicting scenes illuminated solely by candles or oil lamps. This technique adds an air of mystery and intimacy to the composition, drawing viewers into the young woman's world. Measuring 12 13/16 x 9 13/16 inches (or 32.5 x 25 cm), this mezzotint print showcases Verkolje's learned expertise in printmaking inherited from his father. It serves as a testament to his talent and dedication to preserving artistic traditions. Incorporating elements of beauty, history, and craftsmanship, this Artokoloro print offers us a glimpse into the past while reminding us of the timeless allure that art holds over our imagination.
