The Year Rests in a Cold Cloak, December
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating watercolor painting by Dutch artist Willem Arondeus, created in the late 1920s. The image presents a solitary figure of a young man, dressed in a long, hooded cloak, leaning his head on his arm against a radiant golden background. The title of the artwork, "December," refers to the wintry month, emphasizing the seasonal theme. Arondeus, a renowned graphic artist and designer from the Netherlands, was a significant figure in the Art Deco movement and the Dutch artistic scene of the 20th century. His work is characterized by its graphic design elements, bold lettering, and vibrant colors. In this painting, Arondeus masterfully uses a blue and gold color palette to evoke the contrasting feelings of winter's chill and the warmth of the golden season. The young man in the painting appears to be in a state of hibernation or deep rest, perhaps reflecting the slumbering earth during the winter months. The image exudes a sense of calm and introspection, inviting the viewer to contemplate the passage of time and the beauty of the changing seasons. The painting is a testament to Arondeus's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of the winter season through a simple yet powerful composition. It is a valuable addition to the heritage of Dutch art and a reminder of the rich artistic traditions of the Low Countries during the 20th century. This evocative work is now part of the permanent collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
