EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving, titled "Men must work, and Women must Weep, Though Storms be Sudden and Waters Deep" takes us back in time to a period of history where art was not only visually stunning but also deeply meaningful. Painted by the talented Walter Langley and exhibited at the Royal Institute of Painters in Water-Colours in the UK in 1883, this piece showcases Langley's mastery of illustrative technique. The image transports us to a stormy harbor scene where men are seen diligently working while women stand nearby, their faces marked with sorrow. The title itself suggests a stark contrast between gender roles during that era - men being responsible for laborious tasks while women were expected to bear emotional burdens. With its vintage charm and retro styling, this engraving captures the essence of Victorian arts and culture. It serves as a poignant reminder of societal norms prevalent during that time when gender roles were strictly defined. As we admire this historic artwork from the Liszt Collection's archives, it is fascinating to delve into the narrative it presents. This engraving invites contemplation on themes such as duty, sacrifice, and resilience amidst adversity. It stands as an enduring testament to both artistic skill and historical significance—a window into a bygone era that continues to captivate our imagination today.
