EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Saying a prayer before going to market" artist Petrus Kremer transports us to the serene countryside of Bergues, France. The scene depicts a group of humble farmers, both male and female, gathered around a roadside shrine in devout prayer. Their faces reflect deep piety and their hands clasped tightly as they seek divine blessings for their journey ahead. The composition is filled with elements that evoke the essence of rural life: lambs frolic nearby while children playfully observe. A woven basket brimming with fresh produce rests at the feet of one farmer, symbolizing the fruits of their labor ready to be sold at market. The presence of sheep further emphasizes the agricultural nature of these hardworking individuals' lives. Notably, an air of unity pervades this image; it is evident that these peasants share not only their faith but also a strong sense of community. As they kneel together in solemnity, each person holds onto a rosary—a tangible reminder connecting them to their spiritual beliefs. Kremer's masterful use of watercolors on paper brings vibrancy and warmth to this snapshot from rural France's past. Through his brushstrokes, he immortalizes a moment where spirituality intertwines seamlessly with everyday life—where devotion becomes an integral part of preparing for the bustling marketplace. This evocative artwork serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst worldly pursuits and responsibilities, taking time for introspection and seeking guidance from above can provide solace and strength on
