EDITORS COMMENTS
Bridget in Love," a captivating etching by Pierre Tanje (also known as Pieter Tanjé or Cornelis Troost) from the eighteenth century, offers a glimpse into the courting culture of the Dutch Low Countries during the Rococo era. This black and white etching on ivory laid paper, created around 1755, depicts a group of three men and two women engaged in a lively negotiation on a bustling street. At the center stands Bridget, a young woman with an expressive face and an air of determination, as she listens intently to the men's proposals. The men, dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, are deeply involved in their negotiations, each trying to outdo the others with their offers. The scene exudes an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation, as Bridget considers her options and makes her decision. The artist masterfully captures the essence of the Rococo era, with its emphasis on elegance, refinement, and the human experience. This etching is a testament to the importance of family and social connections during this period, as well as the significance of courtship and the role it played in shaping people's lives. The intricate details and subtle nuances of the etching make it a valuable addition to any art collection, and a fascinating glimpse into the past. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this rare and beautiful work in its permanent collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and historical significance of Pierre Tanje's "Bridget in Love.
