Description: | Herman Frederik Carel ten Kate (1822-1891) was a Dutch painter and printmaker who specialised in historical genre scenes and military subjects. This picture shows a gathering in a palatial interior, a more unusual subject for Kate. Several details of the painting suggest that Kate wanted to demonstrate painting's ability to represent other arts: note the lavish architectural setting; the example of metalwork in the soup tureen; the large book of luxury prints and the pictures of ships upon the wall. The theatricality of the scene is emphasised by the curtain falling from the right hand side. | Subjects: | everyday life; interior; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Kate, Herman Frederik Carel ten (Dutch artist, 1822-1891) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8868... | Go to resource |
