EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Karel Du Jardin takes us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into rural life and agriculture. The image portrays a cowherd with his loyal companions - a cow and her adorable calf - on a peaceful hillside. Viewed from behind, the cowherd is seated in the lush grass, overseeing his livestock with care. The scene exudes tranquility as the cow stands protectively beside her recumbent calf. Beyond them lies a quaint village, adding to the idyllic charm of this countryside setting. The etching beautifully captures the essence of Dutch heritage art, showcasing not only their connection to nature but also their reliance on farming for sustenance. Du Jardin's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this artwork. The intricate lines bring out the textures of both animals' fur while highlighting their bond as mother and child. This piece serves as a reminder of simpler times when humans lived harmoniously alongside animals, relying on each other for survival. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only Du Jardin's artistic prowess but also gain insight into centuries-old occupations such as livestock farming. It transports us back in time while reminding us of our deep-rooted connection with nature and our agricultural roots.
