EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Brak Family, a prominent Amsterdam Mennonite family, in an intimate family portrait. The scene unfolds within the confines of their cozy interior, with the family members gathered around a table placed before an elegant mantelpiece. From left to right, we see Pastor Jan Brak and his brother Pieter Brak, both distinguished figures in their own right. Their father Harmen Brak is also present, exuding wisdom and authority. Seated beside her husband Cornelis Brak is Margaretha Hasselaar, sister-in-law to Jan and Pieter. Her graceful presence adds a touch of elegance to this familial tableau. Sitting on her mother's lap is little Margaretha, their oldest daughter holding onto her cherished doll. The composition offers us a glimpse into various aspects of their lives - from the library visible on the left side to symbolize knowledge and intellectual pursuits to hints at their shared heritage and lineage through historical references. Tibout Regters' masterful brushstrokes have immortalized this momentous occasion for generations to come. The use of oil paint on canvas brings depth and richness to every detail captured within this 67.5 cm by 84 cm masterpiece. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time; witnessing not only a specific moment but also feeling connected with the enduring bonds that tie families together across generations.
