The Rat Stinker, 1632
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating etching by Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn that transports us to the rural countryside of the 17th century. Measuring at just 14 x 12.5 cm, this small yet powerful artwork captures the essence of pest control in an era plagued by vermin infestations. In this baroque-style scene, we witness three individuals engaged in their profession as rodent specialists. A young boy and two men are seen diligently working together to combat the menace of rats that have infiltrated a townhouse. The engraving skillfully portrays the rustic charm of their surroundings, with quaint houses lining the street. Rembrandt's attention to detail brings life to each character - from the determined expressions on their faces to their sturdy work attire. The artist masterfully captures not only their physical appearance but also hints at their resilience and expertise in dealing with such challenges. "The Rat Stinker" serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and the necessity for employment during this period. It reminds us of how different professions were valued and sought after even centuries ago. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Rembrandt's artistry while shedding light on historical aspects such as pest control practices and daily life in early seventeenth-century Europe.
