EDITORS COMMENTS
This mid-17th century painting by Gerbrand van den Eeckhout, titled "The Story of the Farmer and the Satyr from Aesop's Fables," is a captivating representation of a classic mythological tale. The Dutch artist masterfully depicts the moment from Aesop's fable "The Farmer and the Satyr," where a farmer, having grown tired of his labor, wishes for the company of a satyr at his dinner table. The satyr, a mythical creature with the ears, tail, and legs of a horse and the upper body of a man, appears at the farmer's request. However, the farmer soon regrets his decision when the satyr begins to eat his cabbages and even tries to steal his babies from the cradle. In this painting, van den Eeckhout beautifully captures the moment of realization on the farmer's face as he witnesses the satyr's true nature. The scene is set in a cozy domestic environment, with a dining room table laden with food and a dog lying at the farmer's feet. The use of color and light adds to the warmth and homeliness of the image, while the contrast between the farmer's human form and the satyr's hooved feet highlights the stark difference between the two. This painting is a testament to the enduring appeal of Aesop's fables and the timeless themes of family, occupation, and the consequences of one's actions. It is a valuable addition to the collection of the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the Netherlands and Europe during the seventeenth century.
