The Ford, 1672. Creator: Jan Siberechts
The Ford, 1672.
Two robust countrywomen, one crossing the stream on foot and the other on a donkey, both following behind a mixed herd of cattle and sheep. The light falls on the figures, strongly modelling their forms, which are emphasized by the colours of the clothes and which stand out against the grey-green of the lush vegetation on the banks of the stream. In the background on the left Siberechts included a secondary scene of hunting that takes place in a meadow

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the charming countryside of Flanders in this exquisite print by Dutch master Jan Siberechts. 'The Ford' (1672) is a masterpiece that captures the rustic beauty and simplicity of rural life during the Baroque era.
Two robust countrywomen, one braving the stream on foot while her companion rides comfortably astride a sturdy donkey, lead a mixed herd of cattle and sheep across the lush vegetation-lined banks. The warm light casts strong shadows on their forms, emphasized by the vibrant colors of their clothing which pop against the soft grey-green hues.
In the background, Siberechts subtly incorporates another scene - that of hunters in pursuit of game in a sun-drenched meadow. This delightful print not only showcases the artist's skillful depiction of rural life but also his ability to convey a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature.
A testament to Flanders' rich cultural heritage, 'The Ford' is an artistic treasure that invites us to step into its idyllic world, where time stands still amidst rolling hills, verdant pastures, and the gentle rhythms of agricultural labor. A true masterpiece from Heritage Images.
