O obrazu
Coarse linen prompted broader brushwork in Michael Sweerts's Giving Drink to the Thirsty, painted about 1646–1649 and now in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Sweerts chose different kinds of linen for the paintings in his Seven Works of Mercy series; this one's more open weave affected how he applied the paint. The subject calls for help to those in need, specifically water for the thirsty. In the distance, Santissima Trinità dei Monti church identifies Rome as the setting for this act of charity.
Slovy muzea
Sweerts painted his series of the ‘Seven Works of Mercy’ on different kinds of linen. For this painting, he used rather coarse canvas; accordingly, his brushstrokes are broader. Visible in the background of this scene is the church of Santissima Trinità dei Monti in Rome, an allusion to the necessity – then as now – of helping the needy and offering refreshment to the thirsty.
