This 17th century Delftware dish by Frederik van Frytom, features a charming blue and white landscape scene. The design, printed in cobalt blue, depicts a river flowing through a rural landscape, with trees, a bridge, a building, and figures enjoying a leisurely stroll. The blue and white palette, characteristic of Delftware, creates a pleasingly serene effect. The overall aesthetic of the dish aligns with the popular "blue and white" style, popularized in the 17th and 18th centuries, and reflects the Dutch fascination with landscape painting during the Golden Age. This piece is a wonderful example of Dutch decorative arts, showcasing both artistic skill and craftsmanship.
Comments
The decoration of Delft tin-glazed earthenware was almost all done by anonymous craftsmen. An exception to this is Frederik van Frytom, who worked in Delft as an independent pottery painter. The superior quality of his painted decorations betrays his training as a fine art painter.
