EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Blessed are the Merciful" was created by German expressionist artist Ernst Barlach in 1916. The print beautifully captures a powerful concept rooted in Christian teachings from the Gospel of Matthew. Barlach's artistic movement is evident through his expressive portrayal of a compassionate man, emphasizing the importance of kindness and caring towards others. The portrait showcases a male figure, symbolizing the embodiment of mercy and compassion. With deep lines etched on his face, he exudes empathy and understanding as he gazes into the distance. This artwork serves as a reminder that true strength lies not only in physical prowess but also in acts of kindness towards fellow human beings. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art Washington, this piece reflects Barlach's heritage artistry while resonating with audiences across time and country boundaries. It invites viewers to reflect upon their own capacity for compassion and encourages them to embrace these virtues within themselves. Ernst Barlach's "Blessed are the Merciful" continues to inspire individuals today with its timeless message of empathy and care for one another. As we observe this print, we are reminded that even amidst life's challenges, it is our ability to show mercy that truly defines us as humans.
