Plate 35
EDITORS COMMENTS
from Lorenz Ekemann Alesson's "Blatt Baum und Landschafts Studien" (Leaves and Landscape Studies) series, created around 1810, presents a captivating image of a solitary woodman in the Swedish countryside. The black and white lithograph on paper, which is part of the Art Institute of Chicago's extensive print and drawings collection, showcases the artist's mastery of the lithotint technique. The woodman, dressed in traditional attire, stands tall and strong, his ax raised high above his head, ready to strike. Branches and leaves surround him, creating a dense, rustic backdrop. The tree trunks, with their intricate bark patterns, contrast sharply with the smooth, white paper. The axe, an essential tool for survival in the rural landscape, is an integral part of the woodman's profession. The woodman's occupation is a nod to the regionalism and rural life of the time. The image evokes a sense of heritage and tradition, as well as the hard work and dedication required to live and thrive in the countryside. The concept of the woodman as a symbol of nature's provider is a common theme in 19th-century art, and Ekemann Alesson's interpretation is both timeless and evocative. The woodman's focused expression and the serene, scenic surroundings create a striking contrast, highlighting the harmony between man and nature. The image invites viewers to contemplate the beauty and simplicity of rural life, as well as the importance of the natural world in shaping our heritage and identity. Overall, Plate 35 from "Blatt Baum und Landschafts Studien" is a beautiful and thought-provoking work of art that speaks to the enduring appeal of the rural landscape and the men and women who have worked and lived there throughout history.
