EDITORS COMMENTS
Woman Feeding Her Child, 1861 Creator: Jean Francois Millet (1814-1875) This evocative black and white etching and drypoint on ivory laid paper, created by Jean Francois Millet in 1861, captures a tender moment of motherhood in rural France. The image portrays a woman, seated in a rustic setting, lovingly feeding her young child with a spoon. The mother's gentle expression and the child's trusting gaze create an intimate connection between them, highlighting the deep bond between parent and child. Millet, a prominent figure of the Barbizon School, was known for his realistic and emotional depictions of rural life. This artistic movement, which emerged in the mid-19th century, focused on capturing the authenticity and simplicity of rural scenes. Millet's work, with its emphasis on the human condition and the natural world, embodies the spirit of this artistic school. The etching and drypoint technique used by Millet adds texture and depth to the image, with the intricately engraved lines conveying the roughness of the rural environment and the softness of the mother-child relationship. The use of black and white further emphasizes the contrast between the two subjects, making the moment all the more poignant. This print, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of family, childcare, and the simple joys of rural life in the 19th century. The image invites us to reflect on the enduring concept of motherhood and the profound impact it has on our lives.
