EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lektüre" takes us back to the mid-late 19th century, capturing a beautiful moment of romance and intellectual pursuit. Created by the renowned artist Carl Spitzweg, this drawing is part of his collection called "Die gute alte Zeit: Zeichnungen von Karl Spitzweg" (The Good Old Days: drawings by Karl Spitzweg), published in 1924. In this scene, we see a couple engrossed in their reading, completely absorbed in the world of literature. The man and woman sit closely together, sharing not only the book but also an intimate connection. Their surroundings suggest a rural setting with its peacefulness and simplicity. Spitzweg's meticulous pencil sketching brings out every detail, from the intricate patterns on their clothing to the expressions on their faces as they delve into the pages before them. This artwork beautifully captures the essence of pastime activities during that era when reading was cherished as both an intellectual pursuit and a source of romantic escapism. As we admire this piece, it reminds us of how literature has always been able to transport us to different worlds while deepening our connections with those around us. It serves as a timeless reminder that even amidst technological advancements, there is still something magical about losing ourselves within the pages of a good book.
