Supper Time
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Charles Edouard Frere captures a poignant moment in the everyday life of rural France during the 19th century. The scene depicts a humble cottage kitchen, where a weary woman sits by the hearth, broom in hand, as she tends to her daily chores. Her tired expression and hunched posture reveal the toll of her laborious routine. Frere's masterful use of light and shadow brings depth and warmth to this intimate setting. The flickering flames from the fireplace cast dancing shadows on the worn wooden furniture, creating an atmosphere that is both comforting and melancholic. The title "Supper Time" suggests that amidst her tireless work, this woman finds solace in preparing a simple meal for herself or her family. It serves as a reminder of how even in times of hardship or illness (as hinted by 'broom' and 'illness' mentioned), there is always time for nourishment - not just for our bodies but also for our souls. This print transports us back in time, allowing us to witness an ordinary yet deeply human moment frozen forever on canvas. It reminds us to appreciate the beauty found within simplicity and encourages reflection on our own lives – how we find sustenance amidst challenges and draw strength from seemingly mundane tasks. Experience history come alive with "Supper Time" now available as a stunning print from Fine Art Finder at www. bridgemanimages. com
