EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite sculpture "Jungfer Lorenzen of Tangermünde" created by Christian Daniel Rauch in the 19th century. The artwork depicts a young woman, believed to be Jungfer Lorenzen according to local legend, who found herself lost in the forest near her village in Germany. In desperate need of help, she fervently prayed for deliverance and miraculously, a majestic stag appeared before her eyes. Rauch's masterful craftsmanship is evident in this bronze sculpture which is beautifully adorned with silver and rubies. The artist skillfully captures the moment when Jungfer Lorenzen is gracefully carried back to safety on the back of the stag. This piece seamlessly combines elements of religion, folklore, and nature. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's gallery dedicated to painting and sculpture from Europe, this artwork not only represents German heritage but also serves as a testament to human faith and divine intervention. The side saddle riding position symbolizes both femininity and piety while highlighting women's strength and resilience. As viewers admire this remarkable creation, they are transported into an era where art was used as a medium for storytelling and spiritual contemplation. Rauch's "Jungfer Lorenzen of Tangermünde" continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and profound narrative that transcends time itself.
