The Ball-Runner
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph print by Hans Baldung Grien, dating back to the early 16th century. This allegorical representation showcases a naked girl burdened with stone spheres tied to her feet, struggling to maintain balance and move forward. The artist's intricate pen and ink drawing on brown prepared paper, washed with India ink and highlighted with white, adds depth and texture to this thought-provoking piece. In this artwork, Grien explores the concept of difficulty and adversity in life. The cherub pushing the girl symbolizes external forces that propel us forward even when we are weighed down by challenges. The heavy stones represent burdens or obstacles that hinder our progress. The image evokes a sense of vulnerability as well as resilience. It raises questions about the human condition and our ability to overcome obstacles despite feeling hampered or disabled in some way. The juxtaposition of nudity against the weighty stones emphasizes both physical and emotional vulnerability. This print is part of a collection of hand-drawn masterpieces from various renowned art collections, including Albertina. Its inclusion in this compilation speaks volumes about its artistic significance within Northern Renaissance art. "The Ball-Runner" serves as an enduring reminder that life can be arduous but also offers opportunities for growth and triumph over adversity. It invites viewers to reflect on their own struggles while finding inspiration in the perseverance depicted within this remarkable artwork.
