EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Four putti with a portrait of Adam Silo" we are transported to the artistic world of Jacob van der Schley, a renowned portrait painter and printmaker from Amsterdam. The image showcases four adorable putti, cherubic figures often associated with love and innocence, sitting beneath a majestic tree. The central focus of the composition is an exquisite portrait of Adam Silo, capturing his essence as a prominent figure in society during the 18th century. Silo's confident gaze and poised demeanor reflect his status as an influential individual. Symbolism abounds in this artwork; the caduceus staff held by one of the putti represents commerce and trade while snakes intertwine around it, symbolizing wisdom and healing attributed to Mercury. Another putto holds Neptune's trident, representing power over water bodies. The meticulous attention to detail is evident throughout the piece - every delicate brushstroke on paper brings life to each character portrayed. Quint Lox skillfully captures Van der Schley's mastery in rendering human expressions and textures. This print serves as a testament to both Van der Schley's talent as well as Lox's ability to preserve art through photography. It allows us to appreciate not only the beauty within this specific work but also offers insight into historical portraiture techniques that were prevalent during that era.
