G. Boersma On my painting you see a man hitting the slot machines in Las Vegas. As a painter I'm interested in these small moments we usually don't think much about. To me they say a whole lot about todays society and the way we interact. All the best, Gerard

G. Boersma SOLD Caravaggio's dramatic painting The Taking of Christ depicts the events of the night of Holy Thursday. Judas has identified Christ with a kiss, and the temple guards move to make their arrest as another disciple flees the scene. The image would have encouraged viewers to follow Christ's example, to place forgiveness before revenge, and to engage in spiritual rather than physical combat. Caravaggio presents the scene as if it were a frozen moment, to which the over-crowded composition and violent gestures contribute dramatic impact. On Boy Bitten by a Lizard we see Caravaggio himself dressed as an effeminate Bacchus who has reached down to pluck a cherry only to have his middle finger bitten by a lizard. It is a sarky Italian lament on the brevity of sensual pleasures. The lizard, representing old age also symbolizes the fact that one doesn't stay young forever and that their will be an end eventually. All the best, Gerard

G. Boersma SOLD Early Sunday Morning is one of Edward Hopper’s most iconic paintings. The painting portrays the small businesses and shops of Seventh Avenue in New York City shortly after sunrise. It shows a blue sky over a long, red building. A barber pole sits in front of one of the doorways and there's not a human soul in sight. The long, early morning shadows and the succession of verticals and horizontals, create the charged, almost theatrical, atmosphere of an unpopulated street at the beginning of the day. I'm sure a crowd will appear soon, but for now all is quiet and peaceful. All the best, Gerard

G. Boersma SOLD On Vermeer's Milkmaid we are presented with a working environment featuring rough walls, roughly textured bread, bare wood, coarse baskets, and a maid with blunt features, rough hands and forearms. But she is diligently focused on the task making an appetizing dish for the household. The only movement and sound being the flow of milk into the bowl. It seems to be Vermeer's way of paying tribute to the virtues of temperance, purity and hard work. And to me that makes the painting radiate this quiet calm as I'm sure it does to my figure as well. All the best, Gerard
