EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from the 16th century, we witness a tender moment of care and rest in the midst of childbirth. The scene depicts a midwife diligently cleaning a newly born baby while the exhausted mother finds solace in her well-deserved rest. The intricate details of this print can be found within the pages of "Margarita Philosophica" by Gregor Reisch, published in Basel in 1517. This timeless artwork showcases the beauty and significance of family life, capturing an intimate snapshot that transcends time. The artist's skillful hand brings to life every element within the composition - from the delicate features of the newborn baby to the weary yet content expression on the mother's face. The furniture surrounding them serves as a reminder of their humble surroundings, emphasizing their shared journey into parenthood. This engraving not only celebrates childbirth but also highlights its challenges and triumphs. It reminds us that even amidst exhaustion and uncertainty, there is always room for tenderness and love. As we gaze upon this historical piece captured by Giancarlo Costa, we are transported back to an era where daily life was marked by simplicity and resilience. It serves as a poignant reminder that throughout history, mothers have relied on dedicated midwives to guide them through one of life's most precious moments – bringing new life into this world. Through this image, we are invited to reflect on our own experiences with birth and appreciate those who support us during these transformative times.
