EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite etching by Herman van Swanevelt, titled "Donkeys," transports us back to the 17th century Dutch countryside. The image captures a peaceful moment as a group of donkeys take a break from their laborious jobs as pack animals. The donkeys are depicted in various poses, some resting their weary heads, while others seem to be engaged in quiet conversation with one another. The artist masterfully captures the textures of their rough coats and the intricate details of their ears and hooves. The black and white, or monochrome, composition adds to the timeless and ageless quality of the scene. The etching is a beautiful example of Baroque art from the Low Countries, a period known for its grandeur and intricacy. The exterior setting, with its rolling hills and open fields, further emphasizes the serene and idyllic nature of the scene. This etching is a treasure from the rich artistic heritage of the Netherlands and a testament to the skill and talent of Herman van Swanevelt. It is a must-see for any art enthusiast, particularly those with an interest in the Baroque era or animals. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this work in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and history it represents.
