EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Kneeling he took both of her little brown hands, and his tears fell fast as he kissed them" we are transported to a poignant moment captured by Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale. The color litho artwork showcases a scene from "The Gathering of Brother Hilarius" published by Duckworth & Co. in London. The image portrays a deeply emotional encounter between two individuals amidst the backdrop of a monastery. A man, presumably Brother Hilarius, kneels before a young girl with small brown hands. Overwhelmed with emotion, tears stream down his face as he tenderly kisses her hands. This powerful visual narrative hints at themes such as compassion, love, and perhaps even sacrifice. The costumes worn by the characters suggest that they belong to an era plagued by the devastating Black Death. Their attire serves as a reminder of the hardships faced during those times. Fortescue-Brickdale's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke of this color litho print. The artist skillfully captures not only the physical features but also conveys the depth of emotions felt within this intimate moment. As we gaze upon this artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we can't help but be moved by its beauty and complexity. It serves as a testament to art's ability to transcend time and evoke profound emotions within us all.
