EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era, depicting "The Monks of Melrose made good kaill on Fridays when they fasted". Painted by Charles Landseer in the 19th century, this oil on canvas artwork measures 107x156.2 cm and is part of a private collection. In this scene, we see a group of monks gathered outdoors, engaging in their religious observance while enjoying a simple meal. The monks are depicted as content and satisfied with their humble fare, neither desiring beef nor ale as long as their neighbors have enough to sustain them. The painting showcases the beauty of English countryside during that time period, with lush greenery and towering trees serving as the backdrop for this tranquil moment. The figures in the painting include both men and women from different age groups, highlighting the diverse community within which these monks lived. Landseer's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of each individual's clothing and posture. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Victorian rural life through his use of color and composition. This artwork serves not only as an aesthetic masterpiece but also provides insight into historical practices such as fasting and communal living among religious communities. It invites viewers to reflect upon simpler times when people found contentment in modest pleasures and shared resources amongst themselves.
