EDITORS COMMENTS
The Fourth Commandment: Honor Thy Father and Mother, 1516, is a captivating woodcut print by Hans Baldung, a renowned artist of the German Renaissance. This masterpiece is a part of the series depicting The Ten Commandments, showcasing the biblical scene of a father and his adult children engaged in a heartfelt conversation. The image, created in the 1510s, is a testament to the deep respect and reverence for familial bonds during this era. The black and white composition, reminiscent of the monochromatic palette popular during the 16th century, adds a sense of timelessness and gravity to the scene. The father, dressed in the attire of the time, sits at a table, while his children, both male and female, stand before him, attentively listening. The mother, positioned behind her husband, looks on approvingly. The figures are depicted with intricate detail, revealing Baldung's exceptional skill as a woodcut artist. This print, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a significant addition to the museum's collection of heritage art. It not only represents the artistic achievements of the Renaissance period but also serves as a reminder of the enduring importance of family relationships in various cultures and religions, including Christianity. The conversing figures in The Fourth Commandment offer a glimpse into the past, providing a connection to our shared human heritage and the values that continue to shape our lives today.
