EDITORS COMMENTS
Like to Like (Gelyck By Gelyck), 1640/45 by Jacob Jordaens is a captivating print that beautifully captures the essence of human connections. In this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an array of characters and their interactions. At first glance, our eyes are drawn to the central figures - an old man and an old woman sitting closely together. Their weathered faces tell tales of a lifetime spent together, while their hands gently touch, displaying a deep bond forged through years of shared experiences. Surrounding them are various couples - young and old alike - engaged in animated conversations. The artist skillfully portrays the diverse range of relationships: lovers whispering sweet nothings, children playing joyfully, and even a nun sharing laughter with a group enjoying wine. Jordaens' attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the intricate patterns on clothing to the mischievous expression on a dog's face. The use of black chalk, brush and brown ink combined with watercolor adds depth and richness to each character's personality. This artwork not only showcases Jordaens' artistic prowess but also serves as a visual representation of the proverb 'stick to one's own people. ' It reminds us that true connection lies in finding those who share our values, interests, or simply our company. Displayed at Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark, this timeless piece continues to captivate viewers with its portrayal of human relationships across generations.
