EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Jan van de Velde II, we are transported back to the year 1616, where we find ourselves in the midst of a serene scene on a calm river. The focal point of the image is a small boat occupied by two anglers, who seem to be engrossed in their peaceful pursuit. Their fishing rods are delicately poised over the water's surface, waiting for that elusive bite. What makes this composition particularly intriguing is the presence of a dovecote perched atop an elegant structure at the center of the boat. This unexpected addition adds an element of whimsy and charm to an otherwise ordinary fishing trip. Perhaps it serves as both entertainment and company for these patient fishermen, providing them with some avian companionship during their hours spent on the water. Van de Velde II's masterful engraving technique brings out intricate details in every aspect of this artwork - from the ripples on the river's surface to each feather on the birds' wings. The use of light and shadow creates depth and dimension, enhancing our sense of immersion into this tranquil moment. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate not only Van de Velde II's artistic skill but also offers us a glimpse into life centuries ago when leisurely activities like fishing were cherished pastimes. It reminds us that even amidst our busy modern lives, there is value in taking moments to connect with nature and find solace in simple pleasures such as angling or observing birds fluttering above
