Madam Parson, 1683
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating mezzotint on laid paper created by the renowned Dutch artist Jan Verkolje. This exquisite work of art dates back to the 17th century, a time of rich cultural and artistic heritage in the Netherlands. The monochromatic image, with its distinct grey tones, transports us back in time, inviting us to ponder the historical significance of this figure. Jan Verkolje, also known as Johannes Verkolje or Pieter van der Faes, was a prominent artist of the Low Countries, renowned for his meticulous depictions of figures and scenes. In this piece, titled "Madam Parson," Verkolje masterfully captures the essence of a woman of the time, her poised and elegant demeanor reflecting the refined sensibilities of the era. The image, which is part of the National Gallery of Art's extensive collection in Washington D.C., is a testament to the enduring appeal of historical art. The black and white mezzotint, with its intricate lettering and illustrative details, offers a glimpse into the lives of the people of the 17th century, providing a window into a bygone era. The woman in the print, identified as Madam Parson, is depicted in a seated position, her hands delicately folded in her lap. Her attire, consisting of a high-collared dress and a lace shawl, speaks to the opulence and elegance of the time. The artist's skillful use of mezzotint techniques on laid paper adds depth and texture to the image, creating a striking contrast between the woman's smooth, unblemished skin and the rough, textured background. This print, with its rich history and intricate details, is a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for the arts and a desire to explore the cultural heritage of the 17th century. Whether viewed in person at the National Gallery of Art or as a print, "Madam Parson, 1683" is a testament to the enduring allure of historical art and the masterful artistry of Jan Verkolje.
