EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment of emotion in the 19th century. Titled "De Profundis from The Complete Works of Beranger, 1836" this wood engraving by Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard depicts a man wiping away his tears with a handkerchief. The image showcases the deep sadness and sorrow that can be felt by individuals across time and cultures. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, as he skillfully conveys the raw emotions etched on the man's face. The subject's downcast eyes and furrowed brow suggest an inner turmoil, while his clenched fist gripping the handkerchief reveals his desperate attempt to regain composure. This poignant scene resonates with viewers, reminding us of our shared humanity and capacity for vulnerability. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork is part of a larger collection featuring works by Pierre Jean de Beranger, a renowned French poet. Through this engraving, Gerard beautifully translates Beranger's words into visual form. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back to a different era but reminded that human experiences transcend time. It serves as an enduring reminder that even in moments of despair or heartache, there is solace in art - an expression that allows us to connect deeply with one another through shared emotions.
