EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Weekly Calendar from 1822, created by the talented Joseph Anton Koch. The calendar is adorned with an array of enchanting elements that transport us to the 19th century. Amongst its intricate details are amorini and cherubs, celestial beings that add an angelic touch to the artwork. The artist's skillful use of color brings life to this piece, highlighting each concept represented within it. From astrology symbols like Aquarius to religious deities and mythological figures such as Mercury, every element tells a story. In this scene, we witness a group of individuals gesturing and interacting with one another in various occupations. A female figure stands out as she confidently performs her job as a water carrier or bhishti. This depiction emphasizes both gender equality and the importance of essential professions during that era. Koch's German heritage is evident in his meticulous drawing style which captures the essence of each character portrayed - be it man or woman. The nudity present in some figures serves not only artistic purposes but also represents their vulnerability and connection to nature. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable piece allows us to appreciate Koch's mastery in merging art with science, mythology with religion, and capturing the spirit of daily life in Austria during the early 19th century.
