EDITORS COMMENTS
This print features a masterpiece titled "Young Boy with a Lamb (The Good Shepherd), 1911" by Franz Marc. The painting, housed in the collection of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in New York, showcases Marc's exceptional talent and his affiliation with the Blue Rider movement. In this enchanting artwork, we witness a young boy tenderly cradling a lamb against his chest. The boy's serene expression and gentle touch convey an overwhelming sense of compassion and care. Through this portrayal, Marc draws upon biblical references to depict the figure as the archetypal Good Shepherd. Marc's use of vibrant blue hues throughout the canvas adds an ethereal quality to the scene, evoking feelings of tranquility and harmony between man and nature. This harmonious connection is further emphasized by the lush green landscape that envelops both figures. As one of Germany's leading Expressionist painters, Franz Marc was known for his unique ability to infuse emotion into animal representations. In "Young Boy with a Lamb" he seamlessly combines elements from mythology, literature, and fine art imagery to create an allegorical composition that resonates deeply with viewers. This print not only captures Marc's artistic brilliance but also serves as a reminder of our profound connection to nature and our responsibility towards its creatures—a timeless message beautifully conveyed through this remarkable piece of German painting from 1911.
