Moving house: an age-old human endeavor captured through the lens of art. From Le Demenagement (1894) and D: Movers -- Removal (1890), etchings and prints that depict families toiling with their belongings, to Ivan Vladimirov's watercolors of the Russian Revolution (1917-18), and Alessandro di Mariano dei Filipepi's intricate detail of Moses preparing for his journey in The Story of the Life of Moses (1481), art has chronicled the process with intrigue and intimacy. Even in the whimsical world of Doctor Dolittle, moving is portrayed as an adventure, "working away with their noses against the end of the island" (1922). Yet, the moving process has not always been peaceful; lithographs like The Crowd Invades and Devastates The Church of Giussano (Brianza) and The Strangest Game of Chess depict the chaos and upheaval that can accompany such transitions. The Churches that Travel (colour litho) adds a unique perspective to the idea of moving, as these sacred structures are transported rather than abandoned. Through these works of art, we gain a deeper appreciation for the complexities and nuances of moving house, a universal experience that transcends time and culture.
