EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Norwegians, 1788" transports us back to the rustic beauty of 18th-century Norway. The artist, J Thornthwaite, skillfully captures a snapshot of rural life in this enchanting landscape. In the foreground stands a group of three people - two women and one man - all dressed in traditional Norwegian attire. They are surrounded by lush greenery and grazing cows near a serene lake. One woman points towards something in the distance while holding an axe, suggesting their involvement in manual labor or perhaps guiding their fellow companions. The monochrome palette adds depth and timelessness to the scene, emphasizing the simplicity and rawness of country living during that era. Edward Francis Burney's influence on this piece is evident through its meticulous engraving technique. As we gaze at this print, we can't help but feel connected to these Norwegians from centuries ago. Their hard work and connection with nature remind us of our own roots and evoke a sense of tranquility amidst the breathtaking scenery. This remarkable artwork serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece. It allows us to appreciate the rich cultural heritage of Norway while also reflecting on our shared human experiences across time.
