The Drinker, 1658
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on canvas painting by Pieter de Hooch that offers a glimpse into the daily life of the 17th century. Set against a backdrop of an inviting interior, the scene portrays a moment of leisure and camaraderie. A man sits comfortably at a table, engrossed in conversation with his friends while enjoying a glass of red wine. The warm glow from the window illuminates their faces as they indulge in both tobacco and alcohol. The artist skillfully captures the essence of human connection and friendship through this genre scene. The offer of wine becomes symbolic, hinting at gallant proposals or seduction within this Flemish setting. De Hooch's attention to detail is evident in every aspect - from the carefully arranged furniture to the presence of an animal companion nearby. This painting not only showcases de Hooch's mastery but also provides insights into domestic life during this period. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people sought solace and pleasure in simple pleasures like good company, food, and drink. Kim Young Tae's photograph beautifully captures "The Drinker" preserving its timeless charm for art enthusiasts to appreciate today.
