EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming chromolitho print captures the jovial spirit of a monk in early 20th century Germany. Titled "Der Klosterschaeefler" meaning "The Monastic Beer Carrier" the artwork depicts a contented monk carrying a stein of beer and his lunch. Painted by Eduard von Grutzner, this postcard-sized piece showcases the artist's attention to detail and ability to capture emotions. In the painting, the monk is seen wearing an apron as he eagerly carries his meal consisting of bread and radishes. His anticipation for both food and drink is palpable, as he gazes at his stein with thirsty eyes. The vibrant colors used in this chromolitho add life to the scene, making it come alive with joy and cheerfulness. This artwork not only celebrates German culture but also reflects on historical traditions within monasteries where brewing beer was often practiced. It portrays a moment of happiness amidst daily routines, reminding us that even monks appreciate simple pleasures like good food and drink. Displayed in private collections today, this postcard serves as a delightful reminder of European history and cultural practices. Whether you are drawn to its historical significance or simply captivated by its cheerful depiction, "Der Klosterschaeefler" offers a glimpse into an era when art celebrated everyday moments filled with gaiety and contentment.
