EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ceramic sculpture from the early 1600s titled "Figure of the Nurse". Created by Claude Bertelemy de Blenod, or attributed to him, this exquisite faience piece with enamel decoration measures 23.5x11.6x11.6 cm and is housed in the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The figure depicts a female nurse tenderly breastfeeding an infant while both are swaddled in delicate fabric. This intimate portrayal captures the nurturing essence of motherhood and highlights the vital role played by wet nurses during that era. With its intricate details and masterful craftsmanship, this statuette transports us back to the seventeenth century, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance as a representation of maternal care. The use of faience with enamel decoration adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to this sculpture, making it truly stand out among other works from that period. As we gaze upon this enchanting figurine captured through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of how art has always been a powerful medium for immortalizing moments in time and celebrating human connections across centuries.
