EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of melancholy during the festive season. Titled "Three Sullen People sitting around the table, Christmas Card" this chromolitho artwork by English School from the 19th century evokes a sense of sadness and unhappiness amidst the holiday celebrations. The image showcases three individuals, two women and a man, gathered around a table adorned with fruits and wine glasses. However, their expressions tell a different story – they appear distant and forlorn. The atmosphere is filled with an air of gloom as they sit in silence, seemingly disconnected from the joyous occasion. Despite being surrounded by traditional symbols of merriment such as fruit baskets and glasses ready to be raised in celebration, these sullen figures seem unable to find solace or happiness in their surroundings. Their emotions are palpable; their faces reflect deep sadness that contrasts sharply with the festive backdrop. This thought-provoking artwork prompts us to consider that even during times of supposed joy and cheerfulness like Christmas, not everyone experiences happiness. It reminds us that emotions can vary greatly among individuals during this time of year when society expects universal jubilation. Through its powerful portrayal of human emotion within a seasonal context, this photograph challenges our assumptions about what it means to celebrate during holidays. It serves as a reminder that while some may rejoice without reservation, others may silently endure great tribulations behind forced smiles – an important reflection on empathy and understanding during festivities.
