EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Family in an Interior with Squirrels, possibly the Burton Family from Eltham, Kent" takes us back to 1755-60 and offers a glimpse into the lives of the Burton family. Painted by Philippe Mercier, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 100x160 cm and is currently housed at the Louvre in Paris. The scene depicts Philip Burton, accompanied by his wife and daughter Felicia, immersed in their domestic setting. The inclusion of squirrels adds a touch of whimsy to the composition as they playfully interact with the family members. This conversation piece captures not only a moment frozen in time but also hints at societal norms and interests during that era. As we observe this intimate interior scene, our eyes are drawn to various elements within it - books scattered across a table indicate an intellectual household while a drawing of a squirrel suggests an appreciation for nature's beauty. The group portrait exudes warmth and familial affection as they engage in lively discussion or perhaps share stories from their day. Mercier's attention to detail brings life to each character portrayed; their expressions reveal emotions ranging from contentment to curiosity. Through this artwork, we are transported back centuries ago and given insight into one particular family's existence. This remarkable image allows us to appreciate both its artistic merits and historical significance. It serves as a reminder that even though times change, families remain central pillars of society throughout generations.
