EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Market Scene on a Quay" an oil painting created by Frans Snyders and his workshop between 1635 and 1640. The artwork, measuring 201.5x342.9 cm, is housed in the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, USA. The bustling market scene depicted in this Flemish masterpiece comes to life with its vibrant colors and intricate details. Animals such as dogs, cats, deer, swans, ducks, birds, and even a peacock populate the canvas alongside various vegetables and fish. A rat scurries amidst the chaos while a butcher hangs meat nearby. Snyders' skillful brushwork captures not only the liveliness of the marketplace but also hints at deeper themes within the composition. The presence of death is subtly represented through animal carcasses scattered throughout the scene—a reminder of life's transience amid abundance. Amongst all this activity stands a figure holding a walking stick or cane—an enigmatic character who observes it all from afar. This mysterious individual adds an intriguing element to an already captivating tableau. With its rich symbolism and meticulous execution, "Market Scene on a Quay" invites viewers to immerse themselves in both its visual splendor and underlying narratives. It serves as a testament to Snyders' talent as well as his ability to capture everyday moments with extraordinary artistry.
