The Vale of Rest, 1858-1859
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures the essence of tranquility and contemplation. The scene depicts a hauntingly beautiful graveyard at dusk, where two nuns are present. One of them is engaged in the solemn task of digging a grave while the other stands nearby, perhaps offering solace or support. The image draws inspiration from Mendelssohn's part-song "Ruhetal" which translates to "Where the weary find repose". This quote perfectly encapsulates the atmosphere portrayed in this artwork - a place where one can seek respite from life's burdens and find peace. Created by an unknown artist after John Everett Millais' painting displayed at Tate Gallery in London, this print showcases Millais' ability to evoke emotion through his work. It is said that he conceived the idea for this picture during his honeymoon, adding an intriguing personal touch to its creation. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing composition, we are reminded of our own mortality and contemplate the fleeting nature of life. The juxtaposition between death and beauty creates an eerie yet thought-provoking ambiance. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst sorrow and loss, there is still beauty to be found. It invites us to reflect on our own journey through life and encourages us to embrace moments of rest and introspection.
