EDITORS COMMENTS
This Jubilee Portrait of the de San Family, painted by Gerardus de San in the 18th century, offers a glimpse into the domestic life of this Belgian family. The oil on canvas print measures an impressive 144.5x119.5 cm and is currently housed in the Groeningemuseum in Bruges. In this intimate scene, we see the artist himself standing proudly beside his wife and three daughters. The mother sits comfortably in a chair near a warm fireplace, engrossed in reading a newspaper while one daughter leans over her shoulder to catch a glimpse of what has captured her attention. The other two daughters are seated on either side of their father, who stands with confidence and gestures towards them as if discussing something important. Through this composition, de San skillfully captures both familial love and intellectual curiosity within his own household. Notably, de San includes himself within the painting through a self-portrait reflected in a nearby mirror or doorway. This inclusion adds an intriguing layer to the artwork as it invites viewers to ponder how artists perceive themselves within their own creations. Overall, this stunning piece exemplifies Gerardus de San's mastery as an artist and provides us with an intimate snapshot of family life during that era.
