EDITORS COMMENTS
Ludolf Bakhuizen's painting, "The Bakhuysen and de Hooghe Families dining at the Mosselsteiger (Mussel Pier) on the Y, Amsterdam," captures a moment of leisure and joy in the 17th century Dutch maritime city of Amsterdam. The painting, created in 1702, depicts two prominent artist families, the Bakhuysens and the de Hooghes, enjoying a meal together at the Mosselsteiger, a popular mussel pier located on the Y, a branch of the Amstel River. The scene is set outdoors, with the sun casting a warm glow on the group of people seated at long tables. The tables are laden with an abundance of food, including bread, cheese, meats, and fruit, as well as various beverages. The families are dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, with men in coats and breeches, and women in gowns and head coverings. Children and dogs play around the tables, adding to the lively atmosphere. In the background, a sailing ship is anchored in the harbor, a reminder of the maritime culture that was integral to Amsterdam's economy and identity. The painting is a rich representation of Dutch family life and socializing during the 17th century, a time of prosperity and cultural flourishing in the Netherlands. This oil on canvas painting, created by Ludolf Bakhuizen, is a valuable piece of heritage art that offers a glimpse into the past. It is a testament to the beauty and charm of Amsterdam during the 17th century, a time when the city was a hub of artistic, cultural, and economic activity. The painting is now a part of the Rijksmuseum's collection and is a must-see for anyone interested in Dutch history and art.
