EDITORS COMMENTS
The Element of Water, 1660" is a captivating oil on copper painting by Flemish artist Jan van Kessel the Elder. This exquisite artwork, measuring 19.1x28.6 cm, showcases a mesmerizing underwater world teeming with life and wonder. In this enchanting scene, we are transported to an aquatic realm where various creatures coexist in harmony and engage in their daily activities. Otters playfully frolic amidst the waves while seals gracefully swim nearby. A group of fish seem to be engaged in a lively dispute, their vibrant colors contrasting beautifully against the serene blue backdrop. The presence of frogs, crocodiles, and even penguins adds an element of surprise and intrigue to this fantastical composition. A flying turtle glides effortlessly through the water as an eel slithers gracefully among shells scattered across the seabed. Amidst this bustling marine ecosystem, a seahorse elegantly navigates its way through the currents while a catfish stealthily hunts for prey beneath swaying seaweed. Jan van Kessel's meticulous attention to detail brings every creature to life with astonishing realism. The artist masterfully captures both the diversity and interconnectedness of aquatic life within this stunning landscape. This remarkable print from Johnny Van Haeften Ltd. , London allows us to immerse ourselves in nature's watery wonders and invites contemplation about our own relationship with these mystical realms beneath the surface.
