EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Matthias Stom's masterpiece, "Old Woman Praying" created in the late 1630s or early 1640s. Painted with oil on a canvas measuring approximately 30 5/8 x 25 1/8 inches (778 x 638 cm), this artwork is a testament to Stom's exceptional talent and his ability to capture profound emotions. The subject of the painting, an elderly woman deep in prayer, emanates a sense of devotion and spirituality. Her weathered face reflects a lifetime of experiences and hardships as her hands clasp together in fervent supplication. The artist skillfully employs light and shadow to highlight the wrinkles on her forehead and the delicate lines around her eyes, conveying both vulnerability and strength. Born around 1599-1600 in Amersfoort, Netherlands, Matthias Stom later moved to Italy where he spent most of his life. Interestingly, modern literature often mistakenly refers to him as Matthias Stomer due to an erroneous connection made between two artists with similar names. Stom was greatly influenced by Paulus Bor, a renowned Utrecht painter whom he had previously worked under for five years. This particular piece demonstrates Stom's mastery over capturing human emotion through his brushstrokes. As you gaze upon this remarkable image captured from the Liszt Collection, let yourself be transported back in time to witness this old woman's intimate moment of prayer—a timeless reminder of faith transcending generations.
