Handboogschutterij der Societeit de Unie te 's-Hertogenbosch 1844 - 1846

This is Handboogschutterij der Societeit de Unie te 's-Hertogenbosch, a medal made by J. Everts. The medal presents a study in contrasts, both visually and conceptually. On one side, a dynamic scene unfolds, depicting a human figure in action amidst a landscape. The eye is drawn to the interplay of light and shadow, carefully modulated to bring depth to the composition. The scene evokes a sense of movement, encapsulated within the static form of the medal. On the reverse, the surface dissolves into abstraction, almost as if questioning our perception of space. This side functions as an intriguing counterpart, inviting contemplation on the nature of representation itself. The use of texture enriches the work, adding a tactile dimension that shifts our understanding. The medal invites us to consider the dialogue between form and chaos, representation and abstraction.
