Dulce Domum or The Return from School
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a heartwarming moment of pure joy and happiness. Engraved by John Jones in 1790, this color engraving beautifully portrays the endearing scene of two brothers returning home after a long term at school. Their faces are beaming with excitement as they rush towards their waiting mother, who eagerly embraces them with open arms. The image exudes a sense of relief and contentment, symbolizing the sweet feeling of coming back to one's beloved family and familiar surroundings. The boys' uniforms hint at their boarding school education, emphasizing the significance of this reunion for both mother and sons. William Redmore Bigg skillfully brings this enchanting scene to life through his meticulous attention to detail. Every stroke in this print conveys the sheer delight experienced by these children upon reuniting with their loved ones. This artwork serves as a timeless reminder that there is no place like home - "home sweet home". It encapsulates the universal emotions felt by anyone who has ever yearned for the warmth and comfort found within their own four walls. Displayed in Musee National de l'Education in Rouen, France, this engraving continues to evoke feelings of nostalgia and appreciation for the simple joys shared between family members.
