EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1875, capturing a moment of bustling activity in Bishop Hill Colony, Illinois. Founded nearly three decades earlier by Swedish Pietist Erik Jansson, this utopian community was established with a vision of religious prosperity and communal living. The oil on canvas artwork, skillfully created by Olaf Kraus - himself a member of the colony - showcases the essence of life in this tight-knit society. The painting depicts an idyllic scene set against a vast horizon adorned with billowing clouds. A group of hardworking farmers can be seen diligently harvesting wheat from the bountiful fields. As we delve into the details, it becomes evident that both men and women actively participated in this laborious task. Their dedication to their work is palpable as they gather and bundle sheaves of wheat under the warm midwestern sun. This piece not only captures an important historical moment but also serves as a testament to the resilience and unity found within Bishop Hill Colony. It symbolizes their unwavering commitment to their faith, agriculture, and each other. Preserved within The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, this remarkable painting offers viewers an opportunity to step back in time and witness firsthand the spirit that thrived within this unique community during its formative years.
