EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Complicated Marriage" captured by Romeyn de Hooghe in 1698, we are transported to a historical scene filled with intrigue and mystery. The image showcases a family group gathered in a lush garden, framed by the classic porch of their grand estate. At the center of attention sits a distinguished man, Samuel Sylvius, surrounded by his loved ones. His young wife stands beside him, exuding grace and beauty amidst their two sons. The atmosphere is further enriched by the presence of other women, boys, and men who add depth to this complex tableau. This artwork is not just an ordinary portrait; it tells a story through its intricate details. A Dutch poem with multiple stanzas adorns the print's borders - each verse acting as a riddle that challenges viewers to identify the relationships within this tangled web of connections. As we delve into these poetic lines and unravel their meaning over time, we begin to understand that love can be both beautiful and complicated. This classic portal into history allows us to witness how societal norms shaped marriages during those times while highlighting the complexities that existed beneath seemingly perfect facades. "The Complicated Marriage" serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an intriguing puzzle for those who appreciate fine art photography. Quint Lox skillfully captures this moment from Liszt Collection without any commercial intent but rather seeks to evoke curiosity about human relationships throughout history.
