EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait, titled "Portrait of David van Mollem with his Family," was painted by the renowned Dutch artist Nicolaas Verkolje in the year 1740. The painting captures the affluence and happiness of the van Mollem family during the Rococo era in Europe. The patriarch of the family, David van Mollem, is depicted as a successful merchant, dressed in elegant attire, with an air of confidence and pride. He is flanked by his wife and their young children, who gaze at him with adoring expressions. The presence of their playful dogs adds a touch of warmth and liveliness to the scene. The family is set against the backdrop of a beautiful garden, symbolizing the abundance and prosperity of their lifestyle. The use of vibrant colors and intricate details in the painting showcases Verkolje's exceptional skill as a painter. The portrait not only captures the physical likeness of the subjects but also the essence of their family life and the heritage of the Low Countries during the eighteenth century. The painting is a testament to the concept of fatherhood and motherhood during this era, where the role of the parents was to provide for their family and ensure their children's upbringing. The infants in the painting, with their chubby cheeks and innocent expressions, represent the next generation, carrying on the family legacy. The painting is a valuable addition to the Rijksmuseum's collection and a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Europe during the Rococo era.
