EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting by Jan Verkolje, titled "Company Making Music" transports us back to the Dutch Golden Age. The scene is set in a cozy interior, adorned with a richly patterned curtain that adds an air of elegance and warmth. A group of visitors has gathered for an evening of musical entertainment. In the center, we see a group of musicians engrossed in their craft. A violinist skillfully draws his bow across the strings while his companions accompany him on various stringed instruments. Their harmonious melodies fill the room, creating an atmosphere of joy and merriment. Surrounding them are men and women engaged in conversation, enjoying each other's company. An elderly gentleman sits attentively, holding a walking stick as if ready to join in the festivities at any moment. A maid serves refreshments to ensure everyone's comfort. A small dog rests peacefully at its owner's feet, adding charm and playfulness to this lively gathering. Verkolje masterfully captures not only the music but also the social dynamics within this domestic setting. "Company Making Music" is a testament to Verkolje's talent for capturing moments of leisure and entertainment during this prosperous era in Dutch history. This exquisite piece now resides at the National Museum in Stockholm, Sweden, where it continues to inspire admiration for Verkolje's contribution to Baroque artistry.
