EDITORS COMMENTS
Adolph Menzel's Illustration to Act 1 of Heinrich von Kleist's 'The Broken Jug' (1877) is a captivating wood engraving that brings to life the intrigue and suspense of this classic German play. Set indoors, the image features a group of men gathered around a table, their faces etched with concern and curiosity as they examine an injured man. The man, seated with his back to the viewer, clutches his injured leg, which is bandaged and supported by a makeshift sling. In the foreground, another man stands, holding a shattered jug, its pieces scattered on the table. The reflection of the scene in the looking glass in the background adds an intriguing layer of depth and complexity to the image. This black and white wood engraving, created by Adolph Menzel in the late 19th century, is a testament to the artist's mastery of the medium and his ability to capture the human condition with nuance and sensitivity. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the world of medicine and science in the 1800s, and a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place. Today, this precious piece of heritage art can be found at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, a treasure trove of art and culture from around the world.
