EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century oil painting by Jan Verkolje, titled "Company Making Music," depicts a lively scene of men and women of various ages and social standings coming together to enjoy the simple pleasure of making music. The painting, which is believed to have originated from the Netherlands, is filled with vibrant colors and intricate details that bring the figures and their musical instruments to life. At the center of the composition, a man plays a fiddle, his face expressive as he focuses intently on the music. To his left, a woman holds a violin, her fingers poised above the strings, ready to join in. A young boy, dressed in the fashion of the time, stands next to her, a violin tucked under his chin as he attempts to mimic the adults. To the right of the central figures, a group of men play various stringed instruments, including a viola da gamba and a lute. A pair of dogs, perhaps belonging to one of the musicians, sit at their feet, adding to the lively atmosphere of the scene. This painting, now a cherished part of the collection at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, offers a fascinating glimpse into the cultural heritage of the Netherlands and the importance of music in everyday life during the 17th century. The figures in the painting, with their expressive faces and lifelike postures, invite the viewer to join in the musical performance and experience the joy and camaraderie of making music with others.
