EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lady in a landscape with a fly on her shoulder: an allegory of touch" transports us to the 18th century, where Frans van der Mijn's artistic brilliance comes to life. The image showcases a sensuous female figure seated amidst a picturesque landscape, adorned in an exquisite gold dress that accentuates her feminine allure. The lady's expression is one of intrigue and feeling as she delicately holds her hat, seemingly titillated by the presence of a tiny fly perched upon her shoulder. This juxtaposition between the elegant lady and the humble insect creates an intriguing allegorical representation of touch. Van der Mijn masterfully captures the essence of sensory perception through this artwork. The bareness of her breast suggests vulnerability while the satin gown adds an element of luxury and sensation. Every brushstroke brings forth a heightened awareness of our own senses, inviting us to contemplate our connection with the world around us. As we delve into this mesmerizing piece, we are reminded that art has always been intricately intertwined with human emotions and experiences. Through his skillful use of color, texture, and composition, Van der Mijn invites us to explore not only our physical sensations but also our innermost desires. This exceptional painting from Bridgeman Images serves as both a visual delight and an intellectual stimulus for those who appreciate art's ability to evoke profound thoughts about ourselves and our surroundings.
