EDITORS COMMENTS
Cornelis Saftleven's Interior with Bird Concert (1620-1715) is a captivating work of art that showcases the whimsical and humorous side of the Dutch Golden Age. This intriguing watercolor painting, possibly created by the hand of Cornelis Saftleven or one of his followers, depicts an unusual scene of birds engaged in a lively musical performance within a cozy interior. The center of attention is a rooster and a cockerel, proudly perched on a wooden table, wearing colorful hoods adorned with horns, as if they were human musicians. They seem to be belting out a tune, their beaks forming the shape of a vocalist's mouth, while an owl and an owlette listen intently, their curious expressions hinting at their appreciation of the avian performance. The low country setting is further emphasized by the presence of sheet music scattered around the room, suggesting that this bird concert is a regular occurrence. The use of watercolor paint adds a soft, warm touch to the overall composition, making it a delightful and charming piece of seventeenth-century art. This satirical and parodic work is a testament to the artistic ingenuity of the Dutch masters, who often incorporated humor and wit into their creations. The Interior with Bird Concert is a unique and entertaining addition to any art collection, and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Netherlands during the seventeenth century.
