Old Man and Woman
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by the renowned Dutch artist Cornelis de Visscher, hailing from the 17th century, a period known as the Dutch Golden Age. This exquisite work of art, currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases the timeless beauty and intrigue of human connection. The image portrays an older man and a woman, both seated at a table, their hands gently intertwined. The man, with a thoughtful expression, seems to be persuading or seducing the woman, who gazes at him intently, her countenance expressing a mix of curiosity and submission. The scene is set indoors, with ornate furniture and tables adorned with fine tableware, suggesting an atmosphere of comfort and intimacy. Cornelis de Visscher masterfully captures the essence of human emotion and interaction in this engraving on ivory laid paper. The use of contrasting textures and tonal variations adds depth and dimension to the image, further emphasizing the connection between the two figures. This portrait, a testament to the artist's skill and the allure of human relationships, is a must-see for anyone interested in the arts, particularly those focusing on the Dutch Golden Age or the concept of seduction. The Old Man and Woman, with their timeless story and intriguing dynamic, continue to captivate and inspire viewers, making this a truly valuable addition to any art collection or gallery.
