The Mask
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by Gaetano Chierici that depicts a powerful scene of anger and frustration within a household. The black and white illustration, dating back to the early twentieth century, showcases a mother in the kitchen, visibly upset with her son for scaring his younger brother using a mask. This poignant image was originally featured in La Cuisine des Familles on February 25th, 1906. The intensity of emotions portrayed in this artwork is palpable; the mother's furrowed brow and clenched fists reveal her deep-seated rage towards her mischievous child. The engraving serves as an allegory for one of the seven deadly sins - anger - highlighting its destructive power within family dynamics. Chierici's attention to detail brings this historical moment to life; from the apron-clad mother to the frightened expressions on both children's faces, every element contributes to capturing the essence of domestic turmoil. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the struggles faced by families living in poverty during that era. "The Mask" not only showcases Chierici's artistic prowess but also serves as a window into history, shedding light on societal norms and challenges faced by mothers fulfilling their roles as housewives and caretakers. This thought-provoking piece invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as parenthood, fear, and childhood innocence while appreciating Chierici's masterful craftsmanship.
