EDITORS COMMENTS
Each According to Their Own Nature" is a captivating oil painting by Dutch artist David Joseph Bles, created in 1869. This intriguing work, also known as "The Patricides" or "As the Old Sing, Twitter the Young," invites viewers to delve into a chaotic yet playful scene of family life. At the heart of the composition, a father sits in a cozy interior, surrounded by the trappings of heritage art and literature. He gestures towards his sons, who are engaged in a lively scene of noise and pandemonium. One boy plays a drum with wild abandon, while another strums an arrow from a quiver and aims it at a dog that barks defiantly. A third boy points an arrow towards the father, seemingly in playful defiance, while a fourth plays with a rocking horse. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of a mother, who sits calmly at a lectern, reading a book. She seems to be the only one unaffected by the cacophony around her. The father, with a quizzical expression, looks on at his boisterous offspring, perhaps reflecting on the age-old proverb that "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree." The painting is rich in detail, with each figure and object rendered with care and precision. The use of color and lighting adds to the sense of warmth and intimacy, while the inclusion of musical instruments and arrows adds to the playful, chaotic atmosphere. Overall, "Each According to Their Own Nature" is a delightful exploration of family dynamics and the unique ways in which each member expresses themselves. This oil painting is a treasure from the Netherlands' Rijksmuseum, a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Low Countries in the 19th century. It invites us to reflect on the complexities of family life and the ways in which each member contributes to the noise and joy of daily life.
