EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Raree t Fraay Curieus De rarekiek artist interior" takes us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the enchanting world of entertainment and curiosity. In this scene, an itinerant Savooi nature performer presents his mesmerizing viewing cabinet to a family with children. The rarekic showcases various scenes, possibly inspired by popular novels or tales of knights. The room itself is filled with an assortment of household items that evoke a sense of domesticity and simplicity. A spinning wheel stands alongside baskets brimming with fresh fruits, while toy mills and a basket add touches of whimsy. Slippers and a bucket holding a broom hint at daily chores awaiting completion. Against the right wall, rows of barrels serve as makeshift tables for someone's delectable fish dish. Meanwhile, on the opposite side hangs a painting, adding an artistic touch to the space. A rack adorned with jugs graces the back wall. From above dangles a bird cage housing its melodious inhabitant. The room comes alive further with minstrels, jugglers, fahrende Leute (traveling people), and vagrants depicted in paintings or perhaps even present within this vibrant setting. Willem van Mieris masterfully captures this moment in 1718 using oil paint on panel measuring 58 cm in height and 49 cm in width. This extraordinary artwork invites us to contemplate the intersection between childhood wonderment, artistry, nature's beauty captured within cages like birds swimming among fishes—an immersive experience frozen in time.
