EDITORS COMMENTS
Going to the Park," a captivating etching on cream chine laid down on ivory wove paper chine colle by the renowned Pre-Raphaelite painter John Everett Millais, dates back to 1872. This exquisite print, held in the esteemed collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases the idyllic charm of a bygone era in Britain. The image depicts three women - a mother, a nanny, and a young girl - making their way to the park with a pram. The mother, dressed in Victorian attire, holds the reins of the horse-drawn perambulator, while the nanny pushes it gently along the cobblestone path. The young girl, dressed in a frilly dress and bonnet, looks out curiously at the world around her, her eyes filled with wonder and excitement. The scene is reminiscent of a simpler time, where the responsibilities of childcare were shared among family members, and the joys of nature were cherished. The etching masterfully captures the essence of motherhood, sisterhood, and the bond between generations. Millais, a British artist and a founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to portray everyday life with a sense of romanticism and sentimentality. "Going to the Park" is a testament to his artistic skill and his ability to evoke emotions through his work. This etching is not only a valuable addition to the Art Institute of Chicago's collection but also a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of women and children in 19th century England. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of family, the beauty of nature, and the simple pleasures of everyday life.
