EDITORS COMMENTS
Bernhard Zaech's enchanting etching, "Shepherds Traveling past a Ruined Rotunda," transports us back in time to the 17th century. This work of art, created around 1650, offers a glimpse into the agrarian culture of the time, with shepherds tending to their livestock against the backdrop of ancient Roman ruins. The scene is set in Italy, as evidenced by the classical architecture, with columns and a domed rotunda standing proudly amidst the overgrown vegetation. The shepherds, depicted on horseback or on foot, are shown in the foreground, their figures dressed in traditional garb, with their herds of cattle, goats, and sheep following closely behind. The animals are a testament to the rich agricultural heritage of the era, as they graze peacefully in the idyllic countryside. The etching, executed on laid paper, showcases the intricate details of the scene, from the textured fabric of the shepherds' clothing to the intricately carved pillars of the rotunda. The use of black and white adds to the timeless quality of the image, transporting us back to a simpler time. This etching is a must-see for anyone interested in art, history, or culture. It is a treasure of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and a reminder of the enduring beauty and significance of the past.
