The Parable of the Miller and the Donkey, c. 1859
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print created by Elihu Vedder in the 19th century. This thought-provoking artwork, housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, USA, showcases Vedder's exceptional talent as an American artist. In this graphite sketch on wove paper, Vedder skillfully captures a scene from a timeless parable. The central focus is on a miller and his donkey, symbolizing human nature and its relationship with material possessions. The miller appears burdened by his greed for wealth and power while clinging onto bags of grain tied to the donkey's back. Vedder's meticulous attention to detail brings life to this simple yet profound narrative. Through delicate pencil strokes, he portrays not only the physical attributes but also the emotional turmoil experienced by both man and beast. This artwork transports viewers back to rural America during the 19th century—a time when simplicity prevailed over modern complexities. It serves as a reminder that our desires can sometimes blind us from what truly matters in life. As we gaze upon "The Parable of the Miller and the Donkey" we are invited to reflect upon our own values and priorities. Are we like the miller—consumed by worldly possessions—or do we strive for something deeper? Elihu Vedder's masterpiece encourages us to pause amidst our busy lives and contemplate these timeless questions about human nature.
