EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant lithograph print titled "Blue Monday" captures a dramatic scene from the 19th century, showcasing the interior of a shoemaker's workshop. The focus of the image is on a furious wife who wields a hammer, forcefully punishing her husband for reasons unknown. Spectators gather around, their faces reflecting various emotions ranging from amusement to shock. The composition reveals intricate details such as scattered floorboards and an attentive cat observing the chaos unfold. The artist skillfully portrays the intensity of this domestic violence scene while subtly hinting at themes like anger, bitterness, and even the seven deadly sins. Amidst this tumultuous atmosphere, one cannot help but notice two innocent kittens playfully frolicking nearby. Their presence serves as a stark contrast to the rage-filled environment surrounding them. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness not only an act of aggression within marriage but also gain insight into societal dynamics during that era. It provokes contemplation about gender roles and power imbalances prevalent in historical relationships. "Blue Monday" invites viewers to reflect upon human emotions and behaviors that transcend time and place. This piece from German School evokes curiosity while shedding light on both personal and social aspects of life in 19th-century workshops.
