EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Pa. German Dish," is a vibrant and intricately detailed oil painting on paperboard created by American artist Eugene Shellady in 1937. The painting transports us back in time to the 19th and early 20th centuries, depicting a traditional Pennsylvania Dutch or Pennsylvania German dish. The scene is set on a rustic table, adorned with a red and cream colored crockery, reminiscent of the ceramics produced in the Pennsylvania Colony during the 1800s. The dish itself is a beautiful example of the decorative arts of the period, with intricate floral and geometric designs in red and cream colors. The scene is filled with a sense of warmth and nostalgia, evoking the simple pleasures of country life in America during the 1930s and 1940s. Eugene Shellady's painting is an important contribution to the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the 1930s and 1940s. The project aimed to document and preserve American decorative arts and crafts through the creation of detailed drawings and paintings. This artwork is now part of the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world. The painting is a testament to the rich heritage of American art and the enduring appeal of the Pennsylvania Dutch tradition.
