EDITORS COMMENTS
Drottning Blanca: A Timeless Game of Mother and Son (circa 1902) This photograph print depicts a mother and her young son engaged in a playful game, inspired by the famous painting "Drottning Blanca" or "Queen Shiny" by Albert Edelfelt, created in 1877. The original painting, which hangs in the Ateneum Art Museum in Helsinki, Finland, is an evocative image of a regal queen, dressed in rich fabrics and adorned with jewels, holding a mirror to admire her reflection. In this photograph, the mother, dressed in elegant clothing reminiscent of the queen's attire, sits on a plush chair, her eyes twinkling with delight as she looks at her son, who playfully mimics the queen's pose, holding a mirror up to his own reflection. The scene is filled with warmth and affection, as the mother and son share a moment of connection and playfulness. The photograph print captures the essence of the original painting, while adding a new layer of meaning through the interaction between the mother and son. The use of natural light and soft focus adds to the dreamlike quality of the image, creating a timeless and enchanting tableau. This photograph print is a beautiful reminder of the special bond between a mother and her child, and the enduring power of art to inspire and delight. The connection between the painting and the photograph adds an extra layer of meaning, inviting viewers to reflect on the ways in which art can be a source of inspiration and joy in our lives.
