Brief aan Philip Zilcken before 1892

"Brief aan Philip Zilcken" is a handwritten letter by Dutch painter Matthijs Maris, dating back to before 1892. The letter, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fascinating glimpse into the artist's thoughts and artistic process. The text itself, written in Dutch, likely discusses Maris's opinions on art, perhaps relating to the work of Raphael, a master of the Renaissance. Maris's interest in the artistic legacy of the past, as well as his thoughts on the contemporary art world, provide insight into the mind of a prominent figure in 19th-century Dutch art.
