By limiting the religious images and not ordering artists from the second half of the 16th century, the Protestant church encouraged the development of other pictorial genres. The futility and the sense of the peculiarity take indeed little place in the reformed spirit where the sobriety and the essential values must prevail which allow the faithful to be in direct relation, by the prayer, with God. These compositions of the "Silent Life" are an invitation to wisdom and contemplation of both the simplest and the most beautiful things. Absolute serenity emerges from these works. To live in their company is a happiness. To observe them is like a mirror and sends us back to our own fragile destiny, thus encouraging us to be more humble.
We thank Mr. Fred Meijer for having confirmed the authenticity of this work after a visual examination in September 2016 as well as for the many elements brought to the writing of this notice.
