EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant bronze bust, titled "Bust of A Crying Child," is a masterpiece created by the renowned Dutch sculptor Hendrick de Keyser around the 1610s. The sculpture captures the raw emotion and vulnerability of childhood, as the child's face is contorted in a heart-wrenching cry. The intricate details of the child's features, from the furrowed brow to the tear-streaked cheeks, are rendered with such precision and sensitivity that it is easy to be moved by the piece. The bust is a testament to the artistic achievements of the Baroque era in Europe, specifically in the Low Countries, where de Keyser hailed from. The use of bronze with traces of silver adds an elegant and timeless quality to the sculpture, making it a valuable addition to any art collection. This historic piece has traveled through time and continents, eventually finding its permanent home at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in the United States. It serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage that spans across Europe and the Americas, and the enduring power of art to evoke emotion and inspire reflection. The "Bust of A Crying Child" is not just a work of art, but a concept that transcends cultural and temporal boundaries. It invites us to contemplate the human condition, the universality of emotions, and the importance of preserving our artistic heritage for future generations.
