EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "Portrait of the Merian Family" painted around 1642/43 by Matthaus Merian the Younger. The oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 118.7 x 140 cm and is signed on the reverse with MMeri, Jun, while also bearing an inscription on the obverse indicating its creation in 1641. The painting depicts a moment frozen in time, capturing the essence of this prominent family from Basel. With meticulous attention to detail, Merian skillfully portrays each member's unique personality and character. The composition centers around a beautifully rendered group portrait that exudes warmth and intimacy. As we delve into this image, we are transported back to a bygone era where fashion choices speak volumes about societal status and personal taste. The subjects' elegant attire reflects their affluence and refinement. Notably, Matthaus Merian himself was born in Basel in 1621 but later settled in Frankfurt am Main until his passing in 1687. His artistic talent shines through as he masterfully captures light and shadow, creating depth within each figure. This print allows us to appreciate not only the technical brilliance of Merian's brushwork but also offers a glimpse into the lives of one influential family during this pivotal period of history. It serves as a testament to both their legacy and Matthaus Merian's enduring artistic prowess.
