EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Gravediggers before a church" we are transported back in time to witness a scene of solemnity and hard work. The image, originally painted by Jan van Goyen and later reproduced by Reinier & Josua Ottens, captures the essence of village life during the 17th century. A group of men, dressed in humble attire, stand before an old village church. With shovels in hand and determination etched on their faces, they prepare to dig graves in the nearby cemetery. The presence of a small stream flowing beneath a low bridge adds to the picturesque setting. One man can be seen pushing a stick against what appears to be a barge or boat on the stream. This detail hints at the interconnectedness between different aspects of daily life within the village. The composition exudes tranquility despite its somber subject matter. It is as if time stands still for these gravediggers as they carry out their important duty with reverence and respect. This remarkable print showcases not only Jan van Goyen's artistic talent but also pays homage to Reinier & Josua Ottens' dedication to preserving historical works through reproduction. Quint Lox has masterfully captured this timeless piece from Liszt Collection, allowing us to appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and historical significance.
