EDITORS COMMENTS
Allegory of Peace" is a captivating oil painting created by the renowned Dutch artist Balthasar van der Ast (1593-1657) during the 1700-1725 period, which is a significant part of the Dutch Golden Age. This masterpiece embodies the concept of peace through an enchanting scene of amorini, or cupid-like figures, and cherubs, who are depicted as angelic children with wings. The central focus of the painting is a young man and a young woman, both clad in armor, embracing each other in a gesture of reconciliation. They represent the male and female personifications of Peace. The young man holds a disarmed sword and spear, while the young woman cradles a sheathed blade, symbolizing the reassuring disarmament of warfare. Surrounding the central figures are playful cherubs, who scatter flowers and garlands, adding a touch of nature and the promise of renewal. Two dogs, often seen as symbols of loyalty and friendship, join the scene, further emphasizing the theme of peace and unity. The rich color palette and intricate details of the painting, particularly the textures of the armor and the natural elements, are characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age. The composition is a harmonious blend of military and nature elements, reflecting the historical context of the time and the heritage of European art. This painting, with its powerful message of peace and reassurance, is a cherished piece in the Rijksmuseum's collection and a testament to the artistic heritage of the Netherlands during the eighteenth century.
