EDITORS COMMENTS
The Dream, also known as "The Corinthian Bride," is an enigmatic and captivating oil painting from the 17th century, the creator of which remains unknown. This masterpiece, filled with mystery and allure, invites the viewer to ponder the realms of astronomy, dreams, and the human condition. The painting depicts a man in a bedchamber, lying on his back, gazing up at the full moon through an open window. His wife, naked and graceful, stands at the foot of the bed, gesturing towards the moon with an outstretched hand. Two servants, clad in 17th-century attire, stand at the doorway, their silhouettes illuminated by the moonlight filtering through the room. The couple's bodies, bathed in the soft glow of the candles and the ethereal moonlight, are a study in contrasts. The man's serious expression and the woman's serene pose evoke a sense of tranquility, while the backdrop of the night sky, filled with stars and the solar system's planets, hints at the vastness of the universe and the mysteries it holds. The painting's rich colors and intricate details, reminiscent of the Flemish Baroque style, are a testament to the artist's skill and mastery of oil painting. The play of light and shadow, the delicate rendering of the figures, and the meticulous depiction of the moonlit scene all contribute to the painting's timeless beauty and enduring appeal. This work of art, with its intriguing narrative and evocative imagery, is a treasure of the Heritage Images collection and a valuable addition to the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden. Its enigmatic nature invites interpretation and speculation, making it a fascinating subject for scholars, art enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates the beauty and complexity of the human experience.
