EDITORS COMMENTS
In this etching by Cornelis Bega, titled "The Smoker" we are transported back in time to the 17th century Dutch society. Quint Lox's print beautifully captures the intricate details of Bega's work, allowing us to appreciate every stroke and line. Bega was known for his ability to depict scenes from everyday life with remarkable realism, and "The Smoker" is no exception. The composition centers around a man engrossed in his own world as he leisurely enjoys a pipe. His facial expression reveals a sense of tranquility and contentment that can only be found in these moments of solitary reflection. As we delve deeper into the image, our eyes are drawn to the meticulous attention given to each element within the scene. From the folds of fabric on the smoker's clothing to the wisps of smoke gracefully curling upwards, Bega masterfully captures textures and movement through his etching technique. Through this artwork, Bega invites us to contemplate not only the act of smoking but also its symbolic significance within society at that time. It serves as a reminder that even in simple pleasures such as this one, there lies an opportunity for introspection and contemplation. Quint Lox's print preserves both the historical value and artistic beauty of Bega's original etching, making it accessible for all art enthusiasts to admire and enjoy today.
