EDITORS COMMENTS
The Shy Lover, c1890, (1912) captures a tender moment in the rustic countryside. In this monochrome print by Jozef Israels, we see two young people strolling through a picturesque field dotted with grazing cows. The artist's attention to detail brings the 19th-century farmland to life, immersing us in a bygone era. The central figures are a shy couple deeply engrossed in each other's company. A young man and woman walk hand-in-hand, their faces filled with affectionate anticipation. Israels skillfully portrays their emotions through subtle gestures and expressions, evoking the timeless theme of love. Surrounded by nature's beauty and serenity, these lovers find solace in each other's presence. It is as if time stands still for them amidst the rolling hills and peaceful ambiance of rural life. The boy carries an open book under his arm—a symbol of literature and intellectual pursuits that may have brought them together. This image from Bibbys Annual 1912 transports us back to a simpler time when romance bloomed against idyllic landscapes. Israels' portrayal reminds us of the enduring power of love throughout history—unaffected by changing times or societal norms. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene captured over a century ago, we cannot help but be drawn into its charm and sentimentality. The Shy Lover invites us to reflect on our own experiences with love while appreciating the artistry behind
