Bread Dinner Feeding Infants Peasants Soup Thuringen Working Class Labourer
EDITORS COMMENTS
Labourers at a Table, Thueringen, 1875 captures the essence of hardworking families in Germany during the late 19th century. Painted by Otto Edmund Guenther, this oil on canvas print measures 31x47 cm and is housed in the Wiesbaden Museum, Germany. In this poignant scene, we witness a male and female labourer sitting at a simple wooden table with their children. The family's worn-out clothes and tired expressions speak volumes about their impoverished state. Despite their hardships, they gather together to share a meal. The mother tenderly feeds an infant while her other children eagerly await their turn for nourishment. A humble bowl of soup and some bread are all they have to sustain themselves. This image portrays the daily struggle faced by working-class families as they strive to provide for their loved ones. Guenther skillfully captures the raw emotions of these peasants from Thueringen. Their resilience shines through as they find solace in each other's company amidst adversity. It serves as a reminder of the strength that can be found within even the most challenging circumstances. This painting not only showcases German history but also highlights universal themes such as poverty, family bonds, and perseverance. It offers us a glimpse into an era long gone while evoking empathy for those who lived it.
