EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Hendrik Avercamp's masterpiece, "Golf on the Ice on the River Ijsel near Kampen". The Netherlandish artist's brown ink and watercolour painting, heightened with white, beautifully captures a scene from seventeenth-century Holland. In this artwork, we see a group of people engaging in the unique sport of golfing on frozen river ice. Avercamp skillfully depicts their activity from behind, providing an interesting perspective that draws us into the composition. The wintry setting adds to the charm of this old master painting, as it portrays a glacial season in all its natural beauty. The Dutch artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of ink and watercolour. From the delicate lines defining each figure to the subtle shades used to depict ice and snow, Avercamp creates a realistic portrayal that transports viewers back in time. Notably, one can observe a dog accompanying these golfers as they enjoy their leisurely pursuit. This inclusion adds an element of liveliness and companionship to an otherwise serene scene. Overall, this artwork exemplifies Avercamp's mastery in capturing everyday life during his era while showcasing his exceptional talent for depicting natural phenomena such as frozen rivers and winter landscapes. It serves as a testament to both his skill as an artist and his ability to immortalize moments through paintbrush strokes.
