EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing moment frozen in time - the Cittern Player of 1940. The image, found within the prestigious collection of Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, transports us back to an era where music was a universal language that brought people together. In this fine art composition by Han van Meegeren, we witness a young musician passionately engrossed in his craft. With his cittern delicately cradled against his chest, he exudes both concentration and joy as he strums the strings with precision. The artist's masterful use of oil on canvas brings out every intricate detail of the musical instrument, highlighting its elegance and beauty. The scene is set amidst a backdrop that hints at a lively dance or gathering taking place nearby. It is as if the music being played by this talented youth has ignited an irresistible urge to move and celebrate life itself. Through this painting, Meegeren captures not only the essence of music but also its power to evoke emotions and create connections among individuals. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from 1940s Holland, we are reminded of the timeless nature of music and its ability to transcend boundaries. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even during times of turmoil or uncertainty, art can provide solace and unite communities through shared experiences.
