Description |
English: Nighttime genre scenes are often associated with morally dubious activities, with voluptuousness and excess. The difficulty of any symbolic reading arises with such ambiguous images as this old man holding a wine glass. Conflicting attitudes toward the elderly were not uncommon in the 17th century. Is the candlelight a symbol of the enlightenment of virtuous old age, or of sinister pursuits obscured by the cloak of night? Svenska: Nattliga genrescener är ofta förknippade med moraliskt tvivelaktiga handlingar och det måttlösa. Mångtydiga bilder, som den gamle mannen med ett vinglas, är svårare att tolka. Motstridiga föreställningar om åldrandet var inte ovanliga under 1600-talet. Är ljuset här en symbol för ålderdomens visdom och dygd eller snarare lömska handlingar dolda av nattens mörker? |
