EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing painting by Jan I Kessel The Old Man, a renowned artist from the 17th century. Titled "Virgin surrounded by vanite symbols" this artwork is an exquisite representation of Flemish style and religious symbolism. The central figure in the painting is the Virgin Mary, who is depicted with grace and serenity. She is surrounded by various vanite symbols, which serve as reminders of life's transience and the vanity of earthly possessions. These symbols include musical instruments, games like backgammon, and even a grail. The composition beautifully combines elements of still life and portraiture to create a harmonious blend that captures both spiritual depth and worldly pleasures. The meticulous attention to detail in every brushstroke brings each object to life, making them appear almost tangible. Jan I Kessel The Old Man's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene while highlighting the symbolic significance of each element. This painting not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also invites viewers to reflect on themes such as faith, mortality, and the pursuit of worldly desires. Currently held in a private collection, this remarkable artwork continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty. It stands as a testament to Jan I Kessel The Old Man's talent as well as his ability to convey profound messages through his artistry.
