EDITORS COMMENTS
Sinterklaas Arrives in Voorburg: A Monochrome Impression of Urban Festivity (Corné Akkers, 03-12-23) In this evocative pencil drawing by Corné Akkers, Sinterklaas, the Dutch Saint Nicholas, makes his annual entrance into the quaint town of Voorburg in South Holland, accompanied by his mischievous helper Zwarte Piet. The urban scene is bathed in the dramatic contrasts of chiaroscuro, with the dark, rain-soaked streets illuminated by the light of the lanterns and the warm glow of the crowd. The artist masterfully employs hatching and hatched strokes to create a sense of depth and texture, capturing the intricacies of the cobblestone streets, the folds of the children's raincoats, and the furrowed brows of the onlookers. The impressionist touch lends a dreamlike quality to the image, as the raindrops on the windowpanes and the steam from the hot chocolate create a veil of mist and mystery. The monochrome palette heightens the sense of anticipation and excitement, as the dark and light interplay adds a sense of drama and suspense. The people in the crowd, their faces etched with a mix of wonder, curiosity, and delight, are a testament to the enduring allure of Sinterklaas and the magic of the season. This pencil drawing is a tribute to the rich cultural traditions of the Netherlands and the joy of community celebration. It invites us to pause and revel in the simple pleasures of life, as we await the arrival of Sinterklaas and the promise of a brighter future.
