Historic cellar
This time I only had to cross the backyard to visit the house from 1751, now the Sorgdrager Museum. There is a well-preserved original cellar underneath the house floor that was used for cold storage. The walls and floor of the cellar are covered with traditional orange and green glazed tiles which makes the light reflect in a unique way.
I love the way the natural light spreading and reflecting through the only small window mixes with the artificial light from the lamps, creating nice and deep shades and changing the colours of the tiles.
This is the effect I tried to capture in my painting. This will be the seventh interior in the Downstairs series.
Oil on panel 25 x 35 cm, alla prima, limited palette.
