EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Old Houses, 19th century" by Johannes Bosboom takes us back in time to the rural countryside of the Netherlands. The painting beautifully captures the essence of everyday life for working-class families during the 19th century. In this scene, we see a cluster of workers' cottages nestled amidst a picturesque landscape. The dilapidated houses stand as a testament to the hardships faced by these laborers and peasants. Despite their humble surroundings, there is an undeniable sense of warmth and familial bond that permeates through the image. A mother can be seen tending to her babies outside one of the cottages, embodying maternal love and care even in challenging circumstances. Nearby, children play freely in their simple yet idyllic surroundings, oblivious to any worldly concerns. Bosboom's genre painting skillfully portrays not only poverty but also resilience and contentment within this close-knit community. It serves as a reminder that happiness can be found even in modest dwellings and that family bonds are often stronger than material wealth. Displayed at The McManus museum in Dundee, UK as part of the Orchar Collection, this artwork offers viewers a glimpse into Dutch history while celebrating ordinary people who lived out their lives with dignity amidst hardship.
