EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Charity, 1743/44" by Francesco de Mura takes us back to the 18th century, where allegorical figures and symbolism were prevalent in art. The image depicts an allegorical figure of Charity caring for children, while a pelican pierces her own breast with her beak to feed her young with her own blood. The painting beautifully captures the essence of motherhood and selflessness. The artist skillfully portrays the nurturing nature of Charity as she tenderly tends to the babies in her care. Her expression radiates love and compassion, embodying the virtues associated with this allegorical figure. The presence of the pelican adds another layer of symbolism to the artwork. Known for its sacrificial act of feeding its young with its own blood, it represents self-sacrifice and maternal devotion. This powerful visual metaphor highlights the lengths a mother would go to ensure the well-being and survival of her children. Francesco de Mura's mastery is evident in his use of color and composition, creating a harmonious balance between light and shadow that enhances both emotional depth and realism within this oil on canvas masterpiece. Displayed at Art Institute Chicago's gallery, this artwork serves as a reminder not only of our shared human experiences but also celebrates timeless themes such as family life, motherhood, and unconditional love. It continues to captivate viewers across centuries through its enduring beauty and profound message.
