Old Kentucky Home, 1863
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting that transports us back in time to rural America during the mid-19th century. The artist, John Whetten Ehninger, skillfully captures the essence of life in Kentucky with his meticulous brushstrokes on canvas. In this enchanting scene, we are greeted by a charming old house with clapboard siding and rustic shutters. A group of musicians has gathered on the porch, filling the air with melodious tunes. A man gracefully plays his violin while a woman accompanies him on another instrument. Their music resonates throughout the countryside, bringing joy to all who hear it. The presence of children adds an element of innocence and playfulness to the composition. One child eagerly reaches for an apple from a nearby tree as if drawn towards its tempting allure. Another child watches intently as these skilled musicians weave their magic through their violins. This painting not only showcases the beauty of rural Kentucky but also celebrates the importance of music and community in everyday life. It serves as a reminder that even amidst challenging times like those faced during 1863, people found solace and happiness through simple pleasures such as gathering together to create harmonious melodies. Displayed at Shelburne Museum in Vermont, USA, this artwork stands as a testament to American history and culture. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers today just as it did when it was first created over a century ago.
