EDITORS COMMENTS
The Final Moments of Lucas van Leyden captures the poignant scene of a dying Netherlandish painter, Lucas van Leyden, in his last moments. Painted by Josef Maanes in 1843, this oil on canvas print measures 46x60.5 cm and is currently housed at the Narodni Galerie in Prague, Czech Republic. Lucas van Leyden was a prominent artist during the Dutch Golden Age and had expressed his desire to witness the beauty of the heavenly sky once more before his passing. The face depicted in this painting actually belongs to Mosner, Maanes' colleague from the Academy who served as Van Leyden's model. Intriguingly, Maanes incorporated sketches from Kutná Hora for the Stone House seen in the background. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to Bohemia during a sunset setting where grief and mourning fill the air. The composition portrays not only Van Leyden himself but also his grieving wife and daughter by his side. A doctor stands nearby while tears stream down their faces. The easel with unfinished artwork serves as a reminder of Van Leyden's passion for art until his final breath. This piece evokes emotions of loss and reflection while paying homage to an esteemed artist whose legacy lives on through this powerful depiction.
