EDITORS COMMENTS
In church, 1875 by Antonio Piccinni This evocative black and white etching by Italian artist Antonio Piccinni, created in 1875, captures the quiet reverence and solemnity of a church interior. The image transports us back in time to the 19th century, where we find ourselves seated amongst a group of people of various ages and genders, all united in their attendance at this place of worship. The etching, which is a print made by using an etching tool to bite lines into a metal plate, which is then inked and pressed onto paper, showcases intricate details. The alter, with its ornate decorations, stands at the front of the church, while the pews, filled with men and women, are arranged in neat rows. An old woman, her profile in sharp relief, sits in the foreground, her hands folded in her lap, her expression one of deep contemplation. The etching's use of black and white tones adds to the sense of timelessness and reverence. The gray plate tone on the paper creates a subtle contrast, highlighting the textures of the furniture and the folds of the clothing of the figures. The lack of color only serves to draw our focus to the people and their quiet communion with their faith. This etching, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to remind us of the shared human experience of seeking solace and meaning in the quiet spaces of our lives.
