Berchem, a name that evokes various images and stories from different realms. From the House at Berchem where the Bomb Factory was discovered to The Great Dynamite Plot, history unfolds its intriguing tales. But amidst these dramatic events, there is also room for leisure and tranquility. Thomas Rowlandson's masterpiece, Rest from Labour on Sunny Days, transports us to a serene world where one can find solace in idleness. Nicolaes Berchem, an artist with a keen eye for nature's beauty, captures the essence of pastoral life in his works. Le Troupeau Traversant Le Ruisseau portrays a flock of sheep gracefully crossing a stream while Sheep with Lamb Nursing showcases the tender bond between mother and child. In The Set of Sheep series, Berchem skillfully brings forth the charm and simplicity of rural existence. Rest by Nicolaes Berchem takes us back to 1644 when peace reigned supreme in his artistry. Winter Occupation by Thomas Major paints a picture of laborious tasks carried out during colder months but still exudes a sense of harmony within nature's cycle. Mythology intertwines with reality as Jupiter disguises himself as Diana to seduce Callisto in Jupiter, Disguised as Diana Seducing the Nymph Callisto. This tale echoes through time alongside Winter Landscape and Jupiter and Callisto; both paintings capturing moments frozen forever in their ethereal beauty. And finally, we catch glimpses into personal lives through The Wife of Nicolas Berghem (1647). A window into love and companionship that transcends centuries. Berchem becomes more than just a name; it becomes an invitation to explore history's hidden corners and immerse ourselves in artistic wonders that span across genres and eras.
