Madonna and Child c. 18th century

Editor: Here we have Krüger's "Madonna and Child," a print made sometime in the late 18th or early 19th century. It has a serene quality, almost dreamlike. What strikes you when you look at this piece? Curator: It whispers of echoes, doesn't it? Krüger's not just replicating; he's reimagining, almost like a musician riffing on a classic melody. This isn't just faith; it's faith filtered through a very personal lens. Notice how the landscape seems to fade, focusing our gaze... Editor: Yes, it pulls you right into the intimate scene. I appreciate seeing this work through your eyes. Curator: And I, yours. Art’s a conversation, isn’t it?
