Nicolaes Maes -- The Idle Servant -- 1655 -- Oil on panel -- National Gallery, London
A picture that I am fond of recollecting in my mind's eye. The chiaroscuro ensures that we pause to consider both the thoughts of the mistress about her servant and what the artists has her communicate to us viewers.
The National Gallery notes that the servant has been painted in the traditional pose of acedia (sloth), while the mistress is perhaps shrugging her shoulders as she smiles at us.
Almost four centuries away from this Dutch scene and the Calvinist bourgeois culture in which it was painted, nonspecialists like me might well hesitate before ascribing any more definite meaning to the picture in general and the expression and gesture of the mistress in particular.
Yet Maes has invested this little genre scene with such power that it would be emotionally dishonest to pretend that one's response has been suspended, awaiting scholarly explication.
For me, what is illuminated here is the power of self restraint to overcome anger and the mistress's suggestion, with her gesture and her smile, that sinful though the servant may be, we fellow children of Adam and Eve might not be that much better.
A far cry from the wealthy of either then or now whining about the difficulty of finding decent help these days...

I made this plate with a drawing of a beech from our garden by scratching away the white top layer, revealing the brown clay underneath. Now the plate is waiting for the next firing.

"Flowers in a Wan-Li Vase," Jan Brueghel the Elder, c. 1610-15.
Jan Brueghel the Elder (1568-1625) was a member of the Brueghel family of artists, which produced some exceptional ones. He operated in the Renaissance and Baroque periods, and was something of a pioneer in the floral painting genre, as few artists of the period had done them before him.
There's an interesting economic take on this that I'm seeing...the Chinese vase is an indicator of the Dutch trading prowess on one hand, but on the other...the tulips are prominently featured, and the Dutch tulip mania was just starting to come to life when he painted this, becoming history's first recorded speculative bubble and a byword for any market where the prices of something outstrip their intrinsic value.
But hey, it's Flower Friday!
From the Mauritshuis, the Hague.

"The Sweeper," Pieter Janssens Elinga, 1670.
Elinga (1623-1682?) was a Dutch Golden Age painter, noted mostly for his domestic interiors, often with strong geometric patterns, as we see here on the floor, and the arrangement of rectangles in the tall room.
Like yesterday's artist, Hoogstraten, Elinga was an experimenter with small dioramas that were experiments in perspective.
Few details of his life are available; no exact date of death is known; he was alive in 1657 when he paid a poll tax, and his wife signed an official document stating she was a widow in 1682, so it was sometime between those two dates.
There's leaves on the trees outside the tall windows here....maybe she's doing her spring cleaning?
From the Petit Palais, Paris.

"Ice Scene," Hendrick Avercamp, 1610.
Something cool, as we're getting a heat wave here! The detail in Dutch paintings of this era always fascinates me...here you'll see people skating, a woman's butt, someone fallen through the ice, and a guy peeing. Avercamp was known for his winter landscapes and this is a fun example.
From the Mauritshuis, The Hague.

This is a recent drawing I made... Nearly done...
I wish I had a time-machine, so I could go back in time, time after time again, to relive every second of it.
