A Hermit in Times beyond Dates (litho)
8661027 A Hermit in Times beyond Dates (litho) by Ruith, Horace van (1839-1923); Private Collection; (add.info.: A Hermit in Times beyond Dates. Tapas, or penance by heat, ie, austerity of life, finds a place in the Rigveda, the earliest collection of Aryan hymns. In later days, of which, however, the history is still traditional, society and religion considerably developed, and the value placed on austerity greatly increased, bringing about the advent of the hermit. He was usually a man advanced in years, who led an idle, ascetic life of contemplation near a shrine on the outskirts of his native village, and was kept in rude comfort by the younger generation.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "A Hermit in Times beyond Dates," transports us to a bygone era where austerity and contemplation were revered virtues. The image depicts an elderly hermit, immersed in deep thought and meditation near a shrine on the outskirts of his village. His ascetic lifestyle is a testament to the value placed on penance and self-discipline in ancient societies.
The hermit's presence symbolizes a profound connection to tradition and spirituality, as he embodies the ideals of simplicity and introspection. In a world where materialism often reigns supreme, his solitary existence serves as a reminder of the importance of inner peace and spiritual fulfillment.
As we gaze upon this evocative artwork, we are reminded of the timeless wisdom passed down through generations about the power of solitude and reflection. The intricate details captured by Horace van Ruith invite us to contemplate our own lives and priorities, urging us to seek moments of stillness amidst the chaos of modernity.
In today's fast-paced world, "A Hermit in Times beyond Dates" serves as a poignant reminder that true contentment can be found not in external possessions or achievements but within ourselves. It encourages us to embrace moments of quietude and introspection, just like the hermit depicted in this mesmerizing lithograph from centuries past.
