EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and lively scene captured by Sybrandt van Beest, we are transported to a bustling kermesse, or fair, in the heart of 17th century Netherlands. The Kermesse panel is a small yet captivating print that encapsulates the spirit of celebration and merriment. The painting depicts a crowd gathered around a makeshift stage where travelling players entertain with their theatrical performance. Colorful costumes and exaggerated gestures bring life to the characters on stage, while spectators eagerly watch from every corner. Amongst the sea of faces, one figure stands out - a quack doctor wearing an elaborate turban, adding an element of intrigue to the composition. Van Beest's attention to detail is evident in his meticulous brushwork and use of light and shadow. Each individual within the crowd seems to have their own story to tell, creating a sense of depth and complexity within this seemingly simple scene. This delightful print from Haags Gemeentemuseum captures not only the joyous atmosphere but also provides us with glimpses into Dutch society during this period. It serves as a reminder that despite our differences, we all come together in moments of celebration and entertainment. Bridgeman Images has once again brought us closer to art history through this remarkable piece by Sybrandt van Beest – allowing us to appreciate its beauty for years to come.
