EDITORS COMMENTS
Asmus Omnia sua secum Portans," or "Asmus Carrying All Things With Him," is a captivating etching by the German artist Johann Rudolf Schellenburg, published around 1783. This evocative image is a visual interpretation of a poem by Mathias Claudius, a prominent German poet and pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. The poem's central character, Asmus, is depicted as a humble, middle-aged man, carrying his family and worldly possessions on his back as he embarks on a spiritual journey. The black and white image captures the essence of the poem's themes of faith, family, and the human condition. Asmus, dressed in traditional German attire, is shown with a determined expression, his back bent under the weight of his burden. His wife and children cling to him, their faces filled with a mix of concern and hope. A dog follows closely behind, adding to the sense of a complete and loving family unit. The interior scene is set against a backdrop of a simple, rustic home, with a fireplace and a few household items visible in the background. The use of light and shadow adds depth and texture to the image, creating a sense of warmth and intimacy. This poignant depiction of Asmus and his family has been preserved in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to its enduring significance in the history of art and literature. The image continues to resonate with viewers, inviting reflection on the universal themes of family, faith, and the human experience. Johann Rudolf Schellenburg's "Asmus Omnia sua secum Portans" is a powerful reminder of the importance of holding on to what truly matters in life, and the strength and resilience that comes from faith and family.
