Baby Breast Crispin Dress Feed Suckling Van De Passe Wet Nurse
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "WET NURSE, 17TH CENTURY" from Granger Art on Demand transports us back to a bygone era. The image depicts a wet nurse proudly displaying her full breasts, symbolizing the nurturing and life-giving role she plays in society. This German line engraving is based on an original copper engraving by Crispin de Passe, showcasing the exquisite artistry of the time. The wet nurse's attire reflects the fashion trends of the 17th century, with its intricate details and elegant design. Her dress exudes grace and sophistication while simultaneously highlighting her maternal nature as she feeds a baby at her breast. The artist skillfully captures this intimate moment between mother and child, emphasizing the bond formed through nourishment. Van de Passe's work immortalizes not only the wet nurse but also sheds light on an important aspect of history - breastfeeding practices during this period. It serves as a reminder that throughout centuries, women have selflessly provided sustenance for infants who were unable to be nursed by their own mothers. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness one woman's dedication to caring for others' children. It reminds us of the timeless beauty found in acts of love and compassion that transcend generations.
