The Original Fishing
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating wood painting by Hugo van der Goes, also known as "Hugh of Ghent" created after 1479. This detailed panel is part of a diptych and can be found in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. The artwork measures 38.8x23 cm and showcases the artist's exceptional talent. In this scene, we see a young girl standing amidst a lush paradise landscape. She appears to be picking fruit from a tree while an eerie presence lurks nearby - the devil himself disguised as a snake. The painting depicts biblical characters Adam and Eve, with Eve being portrayed as a naked woman holding an apple. The composition explores themes of temptation, good against evil, religion, and modesty within the Flemish style prevalent during the Middle Ages. It beautifully captures the struggle between human desires and moral choices. Van der Goes' attention to detail is evident in his depiction of various elements such as wildlife, including snakes and other animals that inhabit this garden-like setting. The artist skillfully combines botanical accuracy with artistic expression to create an engaging visual narrative. "The Original Fishing" serves as both an exquisite example of Netherlandish artistry from the 15th century and offers viewers insight into biblical scenes through its intricate details. Luisa Ricciarini's print allows us to appreciate this masterpiece even if we cannot experience it firsthand at the museum itself.
