EDITORS COMMENTS
The Angelus, 19th century (etching) captures a serene moment of devotion and gratitude amidst the rustic beauty of a farm. This exquisite print, created by Charles Albert Waltner in homage to Jean Francoise Millet's original masterpiece, transports us to a simpler time where faith and labor were intertwined. In this scene, we witness a humble farmer and his wife pausing from their toil in the potato field. With heads bowed and hands clasped tightly together, they engage in the timeless tradition of reciting the Angelus prayer. The soft glow on the horizon hints at the approaching twilight as nature itself seems to join them in their sacred moment. The wheelbarrow filled with freshly harvested potatoes stands nearby, symbolizing both sustenance and hard work. It serves as a reminder that even amidst daily struggles, there is always room for gratitude for life's blessings. This etching beautifully exemplifies Barbizon School realism with its meticulous attention to detail and skillful use of light and shadow. Through Waltner's masterful technique, he brings forth not only an artistic representation but also evokes deep emotions within us. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the profound connection between religion and everyday life – how faith can provide solace during arduous times while enriching our appreciation for simple joys found within nature's embrace.
