EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Reading in the Middle Ages" takes us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the art of living during that time. Created in 1901 by Henriette Bressler, this engraving showcases a festive scene of family reading amidst the medieval period. The image portrays an enchanting atmosphere with books and sheet music scattered around, hinting at Christmas celebrations. The attention to detail is remarkable as it captures not only the essence of the Middle Ages but also highlights various elements such as clothing, hats, and musical instruments that were prevalent during that era. A dog can be seen sitting beside one of the family members, adding an endearing touch to this charming tableau. The setting itself exudes warmth and comfort with its cozy armchairs and carefully curated furnishings. It transports us back in time when families would gather together for shared moments of reading and enjoyment. Originally created as part of a brochure for Au Bon Marche department store in Paris, France, this artwork beautifully encapsulates both historical significance and artistic expression. Its inclusion in private collections ensures its preservation for generations to come. As we admire this exquisite piece from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of how literature has always played a significant role in bringing people together across different periods throughout history.
