EDITORS COMMENTS
Carl Russ's enchanting etching and aquatint in black on cream wove paper laid down on ivory wove paper chine colle, titled "The Holy Family Busy at Home: Joseph Teaches the Boy Jesus to Read. Mary Feeds the Pigeons," transports us back to the 19th century and invites us into a quiet moment in the lives of the Holy Family. The scene is set in a rustic Austrian countryside, where Joseph sits at a table with the young Jesus, teaching him to read from an open Bible. The boy, with a focused expression, leans in close to his father, absorbing every word. In the foreground, Mary, the Virgin, is depicted in a tender moment as she feeds pigeons from her hand, surrounded by a flock of birds. The serene expression on her face reflects the peace and contentment of motherhood. In the background, the door of their humble home is opened, revealing Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, entering with her son. Two angels hover above, observing the scene with admiration. This beautiful work of art, created in 1809, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Christianity and the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place." "The intricately detailed etching and aquatint technique used by Carl Russ brings this scene to life, with the subtle textures and shading creating a sense of depth and dimension. The use of chine colle adds an additional layer of complexity, with the ivory wove paper creating a beautiful contrast against the black and white etching. This work of art is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, Christianity, or the depiction of biblical characters. It is currently on exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
