EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Golden Age, 1605" by Joachim Wtewael or Utewael. Painted with oil on copper, this masterpiece measures 22.5 x 30.5 cm and is housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. "The Golden Age" transports viewers to a time described by Ovid's Metamorphoses, where spring was eternal and streams of sweet nectar flowed freely. This idyllic era predates the ages of silver, bronze, and iron when humanity lived harmoniously without laws but still did righteously. In this Dutch painting influenced by mannerism, we are presented with a mythological scene set against a picturesque landscape. The female figures depicted exude grace and beauty as they roam freely in their natural state of nudity. Their presence adds an ethereal touch to the pastoral setting. This cabinet painting offers a glimpse into the fantasy world created by Wtewael or Utewael's artistic vision. It captures the essence of the golden age through its meticulous attention to detail and skillful execution. As you admire this print from Bridgeman Images, allow yourself to be transported back in time to an era where innocence reigned supreme and nature flourished abundantly—a true celebration of life's purest form captured within this remarkable artwork.
