EDITORS COMMENTS
Charles Rochussen's captivating watercolor painting, "Carriage about to ford a stream, 1824-1894" (also known as "Thunderstorm, a scene from the legend of Saint Adalbert"), transports us back to the 19th century in the heart of Europe. This evocative masterpiece, created by the Dutch artist, depicts a horse-drawn carriage cautiously approaching the edge of a stormy stream. The oval-shaped composition, with its rich color palette and intricate details, captures the essence of a rainy day in the Low Countries. The figures in the painting, huddled inside the carriage, appear determined yet apprehensive as they face the turbulent waters ahead. In the distance, the ominous clouds gather, casting an ominous shadow over the landscape. The lightning strikes illuminate the scene, adding a sense of drama and excitement to the otherwise mundane task of crossing a stream. The painting is a depiction of a scene from the legend of Saint Adalbert, the patron saint of Bohemia and Hungary. According to the legend, Saint Adalbert miraculously guided a carriage across a raging river during a storm, saving the lives of its occupants. Rochussen's painting captures the essence of this story, with the horse and carriage poised to make the leap of faith and ford the stream. This stunning watercolor on paper is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Europe and the Netherlands in particular. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, religion, and transportation. The painting is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a world-renowned art museum and cultural institution.
