EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning artwork, titled "Industry: design for a wall painting in Rotterdam" by Huib Luns, dates back to the early 1900s, around 1908-1917. The captivating image showcases the industrial might of Rotterdam during this period, with a bustling shipyard as its centerpiece. Workers are seen toiling away, building ships that would transport goods and people across the world. Above them, cherubs and gods look down, their angelic faces conveying a sense of approval and protection. The gods, likely representing the deities of industry, fire, and transportation, add a mythological touch to the scene. The use of vibrant colors and dynamic brushstrokes brings the painting to life, making it a testament to Huib Luns' artistic skill and vision. The medium used for this masterpiece is chalk and watercolor on paper. The intricate details of the ships, the workers, and the celestial beings are all rendered with remarkable precision and care. The contrast between the earthy tones of the shipyard and the ethereal hues of the gods creates a visually striking effect. This artwork is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when the industrial sector was a source of pride and employment for the people of Rotterdam. It is a reminder of the Netherlands' rich artistic and industrial heritage and the interplay between religion, mythology, and the human spirit in shaping the world around us. The Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands is fortunate to have this precious piece in its collection, allowing future generations to appreciate the beauty and significance of Huib Luns' work. This painting is not only a testament to the artist's skill but also a powerful reminder of the human capacity for innovation and creation.
