EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Granida" we are transported back in time to the enchanting world of Dutch courtesans. Painted by Bartolomeus van der Helst, a renowned artist from the 17th century, this piece showcases his exceptional attention to detail and mastery of portraiture. The focal point of the image is Granida herself, an alluring woman with a mysterious aura. Her attire is adorned with an ostrich plume that gracefully cascades down her breast, drawing our eyes towards her revealing neckline. A single feather delicately rests upon her chest, adding an element of intrigue to her already mesmerizing presence. As we delve deeper into the composition, our gaze is captured by a lustrous pearl necklace adorning Granida's neck. The pearl symbolizes wealth and luxury while also serving as a subtle reminder of the opulent lifestyle she leads as a courtesan. With measured precision, van der Helst has depicted Granida holding an arrow in her hand – perhaps representing both love's vulnerability and its potential for causing harm. This juxtaposition hints at the complex nature of relationships within this era and adds another layer of depth to Granida's character. Measuring 72.5 x 61 cm, this print invites us into a world where beauty meets sophistication and sensuality dances with elegance. It serves as a testament to van der Helst's artistic prowess and offers us a glimpse into the fascinating lives led by those who inhabited his canvases
