EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait print by Godfried Schalcken, we are introduced to the renowned artist Gerard Dou. The oval frame elegantly encloses Dou's bust, emphasizing his importance and skill in the world of art. Wearing a beret and holding a rolled piece of paper jammed with artistic ideas, Dou exudes creativity and passion. The composition is carefully arranged on a table, where Latin translations can be seen scattered around him. This detail hints at Dou's dedication to his craft as he seeks knowledge and inspiration from various sources. As an esteemed painter himself, Schalcken pays homage to his teacher by signing the artwork. Gerard Dou was born in Leiden during the 17th century and gained great honor for his exceptional talent as an artist. His works often depicted scenes of everyday life with astonishing attention to detail. In this print, Schalcken masterfully captures not only Dou's physical appearance but also his artistic essence. Quint Lox has expertly reproduced this timeless image from the Liszt Collection, allowing us to appreciate both the technical skill of Schalcken's original work and Lox's meticulous attention to detail in its reproduction. This print serves as a tribute to two remarkable artists who have left an indelible mark on the art world through their extraordinary talents.
