EDITORS COMMENTS
Asmus Omnia sua secum Portans," or "Asmus Carrying All Things With Him," is an intriguing and whimsical illustration created by Johann Rudolf Schellenburg in the late 18th century. Published around 1783, this etching is a visual representation of a poem by Mathias Claudius, a renowned German poet and author. The image depicts a man named Asmus, dressed in traditional German attire, carrying a multitude of animals and objects with him as he walks indoors. The scene takes place in a rustic, farmhouse setting, with various farm buildings and structures visible in the background. Asmus, with a determined expression on his face, is shown carrying an assortment of animals, including geese, ducks, and a goose with goslings, as well as household items such as pots, pans, and a broom. The black and white contrast of the etching adds to its timeless and nostalgic feel, transporting us back to the 18th century. The animals, portrayed with great attention to detail, add a sense of warmth and charm to the image. The scene can be interpreted as a representation of the simple pleasures and joys of rural life, as well as the importance of carrying the essentials with you. This work of art is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcasing the rich heritage of both German and American art. Johann Rudolf Schellenburg, the talented artist behind this illustration, expertly captured the essence of Mathias Claudius' poem, leaving a lasting impression on viewers and continuing to inspire and delight generations to come.
