EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Von sorglichkeit ansachtung, schwere und mühsamkeit der Tugent" takes us back to the 17th century Germany. Created by Balthasar Schwan, this etching beautifully captures the concept of virtue, particularly humility, as depicted in Petrarch's work. The image portrays an old woman standing amidst a woodland setting. She is portrayed with great attention to detail and appears deep in thought. The German text surrounding her emphasizes the importance of diligence and respect in cultivating virtues. The delicate wildflowers scattered around her symbolize nature's beauty and its connection to human existence. Balthasar Schwan skillfully uses light and shadow to create a dramatic effect that adds depth to the portrait. The monochromatic palette enhances the timeless quality of this artwork while also highlighting every intricate line etched by the artist. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece from Petrarch's "Gluck und Ungluck Spiegel" series serves as a reminder of our heritage and cultural roots. It invites viewers to reflect on their own pursuit of virtue and contemplate how these values have transcended time. With its rich symbolism and masterful execution, this print by Balthasar Schwan stands as a testament to his artistic prowess and ability to capture complex concepts through visual storytelling.
