EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported to a serene hilltop scene. The focal point of the image is a magnificent gray horse standing proudly on the hill, its sleek coat blending harmoniously with the surrounding landscape. A young boy stands beside it, holding onto a white horse by its bridle. The contrast between the two horses is striking; one exuding strength and power, while the other emanates grace and elegance. It is as if they represent different facets of nature's beauty. As our gaze shifts towards the right side of the frame, we notice a rider squatting down in an unexpected pose. Perhaps taking a momentary break or attending to something unnoticed by our eyes, their presence adds an element of intrigue to this otherwise tranquil setting. One cannot help but be drawn into every detail captured by Philips Wouwerman's masterful brushstrokes in this oil painting from 1646. The artist skillfully portrays not only these majestic creatures but also includes elements that remind us of life's more mundane aspects - here symbolized by a subtle depiction of defecation. This thought-provoking artwork invites contemplation about contrasts in life: strength versus gracefulness, serenity amidst daily routines. It serves as both an aesthetic delight and a reminder that even in moments where nature reveals its rawness, there remains undeniable beauty all around us.
