EDITORS COMMENTS
Isaac van Ostade's painting "Country inn with a horse at the trough (manger)," created in 1643, captures the idyllic scene of a 17th century Dutch country inn. The exterior of the building, with its thatched roof and exposed wooden beams, invites weary travelers to take a break from their journey. A man in traditional Dutch clothing sits at a table outside, enjoying a mug of beer and the company of his family. Children play nearby, while a woman tends to a breastfeeding infant. In the foreground, a horse quenches its thirst at the trough, surrounded by chickens and other farm animals. The peaceful scene is set against the backdrop of a babbling river and a quaint wooden bridge. The use of oil on panel creates a rich, warm color palette, bringing the rural setting to life. This painting is a prime example of the Dutch Golden Age, a period of cultural and artistic flourishing in the Netherlands during the 17th century. The concept of al fresco dining and socializing at the local inn was a common practice during this time, and van Ostade masterfully captures the essence of this tradition. The inclusion of the horse and other animals adds to the rustic charm of the scene, highlighting the close relationship between humans and nature in the Dutch countryside. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, is the current home of this heritage art piece, where it continues to be admired for its beauty and historical significance.
