EDITORS COMMENTS
The Anemic Lady: A Glimpse into 17th Century Dutch Domesticity". This print showcases "The Anemic Lady" a remarkable oil on canvas painting by Samuel van Hoogstraten. Created between 1660 and 1678, this Baroque masterpiece measures 69.5x55 cm and is housed in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The painting depicts a scene of domestic life during the seventeenth century, offering a fascinating insight into the medical practices of that era. In this intimate setting, we see a pale and faint woman standing at the doorway with her cat nearby. Surrounding her are various elements associated with sickness and diagnosis – steps leading to an upper level where perhaps a doctor resides, as well as a sample of urine being collected for examination. Hoogstraten's meticulous attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of light and shadow, creating an atmosphere that exudes both vulnerability and intrigue. The artist skillfully captures the delicate nature of illness through his depiction of the anemic lady's frail appearance. Through this artwork, viewers are transported back in time to witness not only the physical suffering experienced by women during this period but also their role within domestic spaces. It serves as a poignant reminder of how far medical advancements have come since then while shedding light on societal norms surrounding health and femininity. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this historical gem from Fine Art Finder without infringing upon any commercial use restrictions.
