EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Charity with three small children, 1795" by Raphael Morghen transports us back to the 18th century, showcasing an allegorical figure of Charity surrounded by three adorable young children. The Italian artist Antonio Allegri da Correggio's influence is evident in this piece, as it exudes a sense of tenderness and warmth. The image depicts a motherly figure breastfeeding one child while two others cling to her side, symbolizing the selfless act of nurturing and care that defines motherhood. The artist beautifully captures the essence of family life and the unconditional love between a mother and her children. Morghen's engraving technique adds depth to this intimate scene, emphasizing every detail from the soft curves of the woman's body to the innocence radiating from each child. The use of black and white further enhances the timeless quality of this artwork. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a reminder of our universal need for compassion and support within society. It celebrates not only maternal love but also highlights charity as an essential virtue that binds communities together. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported into a world where nakedness represents vulnerability rather than shame. Through Morghen's skilled craftsmanship, he invites us to reflect on our own capacity for kindness and generosity towards others – values that remain relevant even centuries later.
