EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Les nourrices, 1780" by Jean Francois Janinet takes us back to the 18th century in France. The image beautifully captures a scene of family life and the important role of wet nurses during that time. In this monochrome artwork, we see several women, dressed in traditional attire, nurturing and breastfeeding babies. The artist skillfully portrays the intimate bond between these wet nurses and the infants they care for. Their expressions are filled with tenderness and dedication as they fulfill their occupation with utmost professionalism. The use of sepia tones adds a touch of nostalgia to the piece, transporting us to a bygone era where breastfeeding was not only essential for infant nutrition but also deeply intertwined with social customs and traditions. Jean Francois Janinet's etching technique brings out intricate details in each figure, highlighting their individuality while emphasizing their collective purpose. This artwork serves as a testament to the vital role played by wet nurses in French society during that period. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art Washington, this print is part of our rich heritage art collection. It invites viewers to reflect on how societal norms have evolved over time while celebrating an age-old profession that nurtured generations past.
