EDITORS COMMENTS
Boats on Ocean" is a captivating charcoal drawing by the renowned Dutch artist Jan van Goyen (1596-1656), hailing from the Dutch Golden Age. This masterpiece, currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of the natural world. The drawing, created in charcoal with stumping heightened with lead white and brush and lead white discolored wash on blue and cream laid paper, transports us to the vast and ever-changing expanse of the ocean. The scene is set with a tranquil yet powerful body of water, dotted with sailboats skillfully navigating the waves. The boats, with their sails billowing in the wind, add a sense of movement and dynamism to the otherwise still seascape. The artist expertly employs the use of charcoal and lead white to create a striking contrast between the grey, textured boats and the blue-grey expanse of the ocean. The waves, with their crests and troughs, add an element of unpredictability and energy to the scene. Jan van Goyen, a key figure of the Dutch Golden Age, was known for his exceptional talent in depicting landscapes and seascapes. His works often reflected the geographical features of the Low Countries, with a focus on the interplay of light and water. "Boats on Ocean" is a testament to his ability to capture the raw beauty and power of nature, making it a must-see for any art enthusiast or history buff. The drawing is a reminder of the importance of transportation on water during the seventeenth century, and the role it played in shaping the world we live in today. The boats in the drawing, with their sails full of wind, represent the spirit of adventure and exploration that characterized the era. Overall, "Boats on Ocean" is a stunning work of art that invites us to appreciate the beauty and power of the natural world, while also offering a glimpse into the past.
