EDITORS COMMENTS
The Angler," painted by Carel de Moor between 1700 and 1738, is a captivating oil on canvas work of art that transports us to the serene beauty of the Dutch low countries during the eighteenth century. The painting depicts a group of men and women engaged in the pastime of angling along the banks of a tranquil river. The figures, dressed in clothing typical of the era, are shown barefoot, connecting intimately with the earth and water. At the center of the composition, a man in a red vest wades into the water, his fishing rod in hand, a float attached to the line. He focuses intently on the water's surface, his gaze unbroken as he waits for a bite. Nearby, a woman in a flowing blue dress sits on the riverbank, her feet dangling in the water, a basket of fish at her side. She plucks a lily from the water, its delicate petals and leaves contrasting with the rough texture of her bare feet. The scene is filled with the rich colors and textures of nature. The waterlilies and their pads float gracefully on the surface, their vibrant hues reflecting in the calm water. The trees and foliage in the background add depth and dimension to the painting, while the figures add a sense of life and movement. This masterpiece by Carel de Moor, also known as Ridder Carel de Moor or Carel de Moor II, is a testament to the simple pleasures of rural life and the connection between people and nature. It is a beloved work in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and a reminder of the heritage and artistic legacy of the Netherlands during the eighteenth century.
