Created after 1625, this Flemish masterpiece is part of a private collection and depicts an act of kindness and compassion. In this painting, we witness a scene filled with warmth and empathy. A group of individuals, representing different social classes, gather around a well in order to quench their thirst. The artist skillfully captures the expressions on their faces - some grateful, others weary - highlighting the universal need for sustenance and care. De Wael's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke. From the texture of clothing to the play of light on each character's face, he creates an atmosphere that draws viewers into this momentary act of charity. The vibrant colors used throughout further enhance the emotional impact conveyed by this genre painting. "Les sept oeuvres de misericorde corporelle" serves as a reminder that acts of mercy transcend societal divisions. It urges us to reflect upon our own capacity for compassion and encourages us to extend help towards those less fortunate than ourselves. Luisa Ricciarini expertly captures the essence and beauty of De Wael's work through her photography skills.
