EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Running the gauntlet" is an illustration from Elementartwerk by J. B. Basedow, dating back to 1774. Created by the talented artist Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, this piece of fine art showcases a significant moment in history. The scene depicted in this copper engraving takes us back to the Rococo period in Germany, specifically Berlin. It portrays a genre scene known as "running the gauntlet" or "running the gantlet". The term refers to a form of punishment where individuals were forced to run between two rows of people who would strike them with various objects. In this vivid artwork, we witness Spiessgasse (pike alley), where unfortunate souls endure this brutal ordeal. Chodowiecki's attention to detail and skillful use of lines brings life and emotion to each figure present in the composition. As we delve into history through this image, it serves as a reminder of past practices that may seem barbaric today but were once considered acceptable forms of discipline. This print now resides within the collection of Staatliche Museen in Berlin, serving as an invaluable artifact for both art enthusiasts and historians alike.
