EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching from 1657, titled "Recumbent Cow Different Animals" is a true masterpiece that showcases the incredible talent of Dutch artist Adriaen van de Velde. The print, part of the Liszt Collection, transports us to a serene countryside scene in Amsterdam during the 17th century. At the center of this composition lies a majestic recumbent cow, exuding tranquility and grace as it peacefully rests on lush green grass. Surrounding this gentle creature are various other animals - sheep, goats, and even a dog - all coexisting harmoniously in their natural habitat. Van de Velde's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his etching needle; each animal is meticulously rendered with precision and lifelike accuracy. The plate size measures approximately 4 5/16 x 5 1/4 inches (11 x 13.3 cm), making it an intimate yet impactful piece that draws viewers into its pastoral charm. This particular artwork serves as a testament to van de Velde's ability to capture not only the physical likeness but also the essence and spirit of these animals. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we can't help but feel transported back in time to witness firsthand the beauty and simplicity of rural life in Amsterdam centuries ago. It serves as a reminder of our connection with nature and evokes feelings of peace and serenity within us.
