EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the painting "Les Pecheurs d'ecrevisses" by Roelandt Jacobsz Savery, a renowned Dutch artist from the 17th century. The artwork, created in 1608 with oil on canvas, is currently housed at the Museum voor Schone Kunsten in Ghent, Belgium. The scene depicted in this stylized painting takes place during dusk along a rocky coastal promontory. A group of northern fishermen can be seen casting their nets into the golden-hued bay as night begins to fall. The coastline stretches out before them, its cliffs and inlet adding drama to the composition. Savery's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of crayfish swimming beneath the surface of the sea. Their presence adds an element of life and movement to this tranquil coastal setting. This piece evokes a sense of mystery and tranquility that resonates with viewers even after centuries have passed since its creation. It transports us back to a time when fishing was not only a means of sustenance but also an integral part of daily life for those living along these shores. As we admire this masterpiece captured through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of William Shakespeare's play "The Tempest" where such scenes might have inspired costumes and set designs for maritime adventures on stage.
