The rejected proposal
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Jan Verkolje, a captivating engraving from 1650-1693, offers a glimpse into the intricacies of love and rejection. In this vintage print, we are transported to an elegant interior where a man and woman sit at a lavishly set table adorned with fine china and delectable food. The tension in the air is palpable as the man holds up a wine glass, presumably proposing his affections to the woman. However, her response is clear - she rejects his advances. Her body language speaks volumes as she leans away slightly, avoiding eye contact. A faithful dog observes the scene attentively from under the table while a servant stands nearby with an empathetic expression. Verkolje's illustrative technique beautifully captures not only this poignant moment but also provides us with insights into historic art practices of that era. The engravement showcases intricate details such as delicate etchings on the wine jug and exquisite patterns on the plates. This engraved image serves as both a historical artifact and an artistic masterpiece that allows us to delve into themes of love, rejection, and human emotions through visual storytelling. Its retro-styled charm adds another layer of nostalgia to its allure.
