Status Currently Off View Department Arts of the Americas Artist Julius Gari Melchers Title Mother and Child Place United States (Artist's nationality:) Dateĭates are not always precisely known, but the Art Institute strives to present this information as consistently and legibly as possible. In 1906 Mother and Child was exhibited at both the Paris Salon and the Art Institute. The rapid brushwork used to describe the clothing and the swaddling blanket contributes to the freshness of his depiction. Melchers portrayed the pair with vivid intensity, contrasting the mother’s direct gaze with the charming appeal of the baby’s chubby face. He specialized in naturalistic depictions of peasant life, including this compassionate rendering of a Dutch woman and her child.
After studying in Düsseldorf and Paris, Julius Gari Melchers settled in Holland, where he was inspired by contemporary Dutch painters of the Hague School.
