EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 17th century with this oil on panel painting by Jan Olis, titled "Kitchen Interior, 1645." This masterpiece transports us to the heart of a Dutch household during the Dutch Golden Age, where a woman diligently prepares poultry for cooking on a spit. Her focus is unwavering as she plucks and cleans the bird, while a man in the foreground takes a leisurely sip from a tankard, seemingly content to observe the proceedings. The scene is rich with details that evoke the essence of the era. In the foreground, an array of fruit and vegetables - artichokes, cabbages, cauliflowers, onions, and marrows - sit at the ready, waiting to be transformed into sumptuous dishes. A barrel and several pipkins (cooking pots) are also present, adding to the authentic atmosphere. The contrast between the industrious woman and the relaxed man highlights the gender roles of the time. The inclusion of a calf's head and fish further emphasizes the abundance of food available to the well-to-do Dutch families during this period. This exquisite painting, now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, is a testament to the artistic prowess of Jan Olis and the cultural heritage of the Netherlands during the 17th century. The warm colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, inviting us to explore the world of Dutch cookery and daily life during this fascinating era.
