Our Daily Bread, 1886
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating painting by Swedish artist Anders Leonard Zorn. This remarkable artwork, measuring 68x102 cm, can be found at the National Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. Depicting scenes of rural life in Scandinavia during the late 19th century, Zorn skillfully captures the essence of hard work and subsistence. In this evocative piece, we see a family toiling away in the fields. The elderly peasant woman gathers wheat while her young child helps plough the land. The worry lines on their faces reveal the hardships they face daily to secure their livelihoods. Zorn's attention to detail is evident as he portrays every aspect of their struggle for survival - from gleaning grains left behind after harvest to cooking over an open fire pot. The painting exudes both strength and vulnerability as it showcases the resilience of these Scandinavian peasants amidst poverty. The use of watercolors on paper adds depth and texture to this masterpiece, enhancing its emotional impact on viewers. Through "Our Daily Bread". Zorn invites us into a world where labor and sustenance are intertwined with love and sacrifice. This painting serves as a poignant reminder that even in our modern age, there are still those who rely heavily on manual labor for survival. It prompts us to appreciate our own access to food and comforts while acknowledging those who continue to work tirelessly for their daily bread.
