EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "The Plague" is part of the Of Death, Part Two series created by Max Klinger in 1898. The artwork measures 36x31 cm and is currently held in a private collection. Klinger, a German artist known for his Symbolist style, beautifully captures the somber atmosphere of a hospital ward during an outbreak of disease. In this haunting scene, we see a sister of mercy standing at the foot of a patient's bed, her presence offering solace and protection to those suffering from the plague. The patients lie on their beds, weakened and vulnerable as they battle against this deadly illness. Above them perch crows and vultures - ominous symbols representing death and decay. Klinger's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke seems to convey the weightiness of human suffering. A crucifix hangs on the wall behind the sister, reminding us that faith often becomes our anchor during times of great despair. "The Plague" serves as both a powerful commentary on mortality and an exploration into themes surrounding life's fragility. Through this etching, Klinger invites viewers to contemplate humanity's vulnerability in the face of disease while also acknowledging the resilience found within individuals who dedicate themselves to caring for others. Bridgeman Images has preserved this extraordinary piece from Fine Art Finder so that future generations can appreciate its artistic brilliance and reflect upon its profound message about life and death.
