EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported to a provincial village in France during the late 19th century. The scene depicts a heartwarming encounter between different social classes, beautifully captured by artist Rene Schutzenberger. At the center of the image stands a nurse, holding a newborn baby swaddled in her arms. Her father, an old peasant with weathered features and determined eyes, accompanies her. Their presence represents generations coming together in this small village square. As our gaze moves beyond them, we notice a man from the bourgeoisie engrossed in reading his newspaper. His refined appearance contrasts sharply with the simplicity of his surroundings. This chance meeting between two distinct worlds creates an intriguing dynamic within the composition. The engraving by Fortune Meaulle adds depth and texture to the illustration, enhancing its timeless quality. The details meticulously etched into each figure's expression convey emotions that transcend time and language barriers. This artwork was originally created as an illustration for Leon Cladel's novel "Thirteen" which explores themes of youth and family dynamics against the backdrop of rural France. Through this print, we catch a glimpse into everyday life during that era - where class boundaries were momentarily blurred by human connection. Stefano Bianchetti's private collection now houses this remarkable piece of art history; it serves as both a testament to past societal structures and an enduring symbol of unity across divides.
