EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "She covers the whole country, 1904" by Theodor Severin Kittelsen captures a haunting scene from Norwegian folklore. Depicting Pesta, the personification of the plague, this artwork showcases an old and bent woman carrying both a rake and a broom. According to legend, if she used the broom, it meant certain doom for the entire population; however, if she opted for the rake instead, some people could survive. With its vibrant colors and meticulous detailing in pencil, watercolor, charcoal, and crayon mediums, Kittelsen's work brings this chilling tale to life. The landscape surrounding Pesta adds to the eerie atmosphere - a serene countryside with mountains in the distance and a tranquil lake reflecting her presence. This piece not only serves as an artistic representation but also reflects on historical events such as epidemics that plagued Europe during that time period. It reminds us of the fragility of human existence in face of sickness and mortality. Displayed at Nasjonalmuseet in Oslo, Norway, this artwork is part of Kittelsen's series called "The Black Death". Through his masterful technique and storytelling ability, he immortalizes Pesta as a legendary figure who travels throughout the land spreading death wherever she goes. "She covers the whole country" stands as a powerful reminder of our vulnerability to illness while showcasing Kittelsen's talent for capturing both beauty and darkness within his art.
