EDITORS COMMENTS
Jan Saenredam's engraving, "Night," dating from the late 16th century, captures the peaceful and intimate atmosphere of a domestic scene. The image is set in a cozy bedroom, where a family gathers around a fireplace, ensconced in their warm apparel. The father, dressed in a long, flowing coat and hat, sits in a canopy bed, holding a candle and gazing at his wife, who is also dressed in fashionable clothing and lies asleep in the bed. Their young children, swaddled in clothes and lying in a cradle, are also fast asleep. Two cats, curled up on the bed and by the fireplace, complete the scene of domestic tranquility. The engraving, executed on laid paper, is a testament to the Baroque era's fascination with the concept of the hearth and home. The monochrome palette of black and white adds to the image's timeless and enduring quality, making it a cherished piece of heritage art. This engraving by Jan Saenredam, a Dutch artist, is a rare glimpse into the lives of the upper classes during the Baroque era and a reminder of the simple pleasures of family life.
