Geertruydt Roghman

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Geertruydt Roghman (also: Roghmans; * 1625 in Amsterdam ; † between March 1651 and 1657 ibid.) Was a Dutch draftsman , engraver and etcher of the Golden Age .

Life

Geertruydt (Giertje) Roghman was born in 1625 as the eldest of six children into an artistic family. Her mother was Maria Savery (* 1598), daughter of the painter Jacob Savery (1566-1603) (some sources incorrectly name Roelant Savery ), her father Henrick Lambertsz Roghman, a copperplate engraver. She was baptized on October 19, 1625.

Her brother Roelant (* 1627) became a landscape painter, her sister Magdalena (* 1637) also a copperplate engraver.

No further biographical data are known about Roghman - the last documented sign of life is from March 1651.

23 individual sheets of her work - etchings and engravings - have come down to us, an artist lexicon from 1910 contains a directory. An etching showing her father Roelant Savery was originally by Paulus Moreelse . She engraved a series with landscapes and villages in the vicinity of Amsterdam based on drawings by her brother.

Roghmann is best known for her series of five sheets of women and girls doing domestic activities, which she designed and drawn herself. These were still commercially published in the 18th century, which suggests a certain popularity of the motifs. In 1898 these five engravings were exhibited at the National Exhibition for Women's Labor in The Hague . A motif from this series was also illustrated in 1915 in the book De vrouw by Hermine Moquette .

Four of the five motifs show the women in profile or from behind, so that the gaze of the person depicted is directed towards the housework carried out, not - as in comparable motifs in Vermeer or Gerard Dou - on the individual faces. A comparison with Vermeer's maid with a milk jug or a young woman with a water jug ​​at the window suggests itself; one author attributes a direct influence on Vermeer to Roghman, whose works were written ten years later. In such - albeit seductive - comparisons of Roghman's works with Vermeer or Dou, it should be taken into account that Roghman's works for the "mass art market", which the painter were high-priced works for individual collectors, as emphasized in a text by the Metropolitan Museum of Art .

  • Women and girls in domestic activities.

  • Sheet 1: Twee naaiende vrouwen (Eng. Two sewing women)

  • Sheet 2: Handwerkende vrouw (German woman doing manual labor)

  • Sheet 3: Kokende vrouw (German woman cooking)

  • Sheet 4: Spinning vrouw (German woman spinning)

  • Sheet 5: Schoonmakende vrouw (German woman cleaning up)

In addition, several drawings are attributed to Roghmans, one of which is in the British Museum in London, one in 1991 at Christie's in Amsterdam and one in 2004 at Lempertz in Cologne.

A large number of Geertruyt Roghman's prints are in the Kupferstichkabinett of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam , others in the British Museum.
