EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us to a dreamlike world. Created in the 19th century by Philipp Otto Runge, a German artist known for his romantic and symbolic works, this particular piece captures the essence of nighttime. In this enchanting scene, cherubs peacefully slumber amidst a celestial backdrop. The angelic figures are delicately rendered with intricate details, their nakedness symbolizing purity and innocence. Surrounding them are beautiful flowers and plants that add an element of natural beauty to the composition. The use of black and white enhances the ethereal quality of this artwork. It allows us to focus on the contrast between light and dark, emphasizing the twinkling stars above as they illuminate the night sky. This print is part of "The Times of Day" series which explores different moments throughout a day. "Night" invites viewers into a serene realm where time seems suspended, inviting contemplation and introspection. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this exquisite engraving showcases Runge's artistic mastery while also reflecting Germany's rich cultural heritage. As we gaze upon it, we can't help but be drawn into its tranquil atmosphere - an invitation to embrace stillness amidst life's constant motion.
