EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jan van Kessel's "Decorative Still-Life Composition with Birds and Two Bats" a stunning oil painting on copper. Measuring 14x20 cm, this masterpiece can be found at the Ashmolean Museum in the University of Oxford, UK. In this baroque-inspired composition, van Kessel skillfully combines elements of nature and fantasy. The artist presents an array of beautifully decorated birds, including pheasants, chickens, hens, and even a vibrant macaw. Amidst this ornate display are two bats that add an intriguing touch to the scene. What makes this artwork particularly fascinating is the contrast between these winged creatures. While most birds symbolize grace and beauty, bats often evoke feelings of darkness or mystery. Van Kessel's inclusion of both species creates a striking juxtaposition that invites viewers to contemplate the differences between them. The attention to detail in this still-life composition is remarkable; each bird is meticulously rendered with intricate patterns and textures. From the delicate feathers to their expressive eyes, every element contributes to the overall decorative quality of the piece. With its rich colors and exquisite craftsmanship, "Decorative Still-Life Composition with Birds and Two Bats" stands as a testament to van Kessel's talent as well as his ability to create visually captivating works that transcend traditional boundaries.
