EDITORS COMMENTS
Going into the World" is a captivating oil on canvas painting by Dutch artist Evert-Jan Boks, created in 19th century. This stunning artwork measures 103x83 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The image depicts a female traveller standing on a bustling railway platform, ready to embark on an adventure beyond her familiar surroundings. The woman's elegant attire, complete with bonnet and umbrella, suggests she belongs to a higher social class. Her poised demeanor hints at both excitement and trepidation as she clutches onto her case, perhaps containing all her worldly possessions for this journey into the unknown. Intriguingly, there is also a note visible in her hand - its contents remain hidden from our view. Is it a farewell letter? Or could it be instructions guiding her escape from an oppressive situation? The ambiguity adds depth to the narrative of this piece. Boks masterfully captures the atmosphere of anticipation that permeates the scene; one can almost hear the hiss of steam from departing trains and feel the hustle and bustle of fellow travellers nearby. It evokes emotions of wanderlust and curiosity about what lies ahead for this brave soul venturing into uncharted territories. This painting resonates particularly strongly today when we consider themes such as migration or seeking refuge elsewhere. It serves as a poignant reminder that throughout history people have sought new beginnings by leaving their homes behind – driven by hope for better opportunities or simply escaping adversity.
