EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Market Scene, the Rest on the Flight into Egypt in the Background, from Kitchen and Market. . . 1603" by Jacob Matham takes us back to a bustling market in the 17th century. The intricate engraving showcases a rich tapestry of daily life during that era. In this remarkable artwork, Matham skillfully captures both biblical scenes and mundane activities. In the background, we see Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus resting during their flight into Egypt. This juxtaposition of sacred and secular elements adds depth to the composition. The market scene itself is teeming with activity. Men, women, and children are engaged in various tasks - selling fruits and vegetables at stalls or interacting with customers. A sense of energy permeates through the depiction as people go about their daily routines. The attention to detail is astounding; every figure is meticulously engraved with precision. From chickens pecking at grains to birds soaring above rooftops, each element contributes to an authentic portrayal of this historical moment. As we observe this artwork today at an art gallery or museum like The Metropolitan Museum of Art where it may be exhibited (not for commercial use), we are transported back in time. It serves as a window into Netherlandish culture during the 17th century while also reminding us of timeless themes such as family dynamics and religious devotion. Jacob Matham's work continues to be cherished as part of our artistic heritage – a testament to his talent as an engraver capturing moments that transcend time itself.
