"Anguish" (1878) by August Friedrich Schenck
This a powerful and emotional painting fr
The look of utter sadness and despair in the face of the mother sheep really does something to me. Especially if you compare it to the lamb's peacefulness..
The muted colors of this painting like the soft green and blues are giving it a cool feel while contrasting the warm soft glow that is casting upon the sheeps' wool.

Le Paris described Schenck as the “greatest painter of sheep of our times”. He specialised in the painting of animals.

In preparation for the Brooklyn Museum Library’s program on February 16th surrounding the love letters of Jane Schenck and Ralph Malbone, I have been looking into what life was like in Brooklyn during the early 19th century. Jane Schenck Malbone (1792-1843) was the daughter of a wealthy and prominent Dutch Brooklynite, and her love for Ralph Malbone (1785-1860) was frowned upon due to his poor financial standing. Determined to prove his worth, Ralph traveled the country distributing smallpox vaccines, eventually amassing a fortune great enough to return to Brooklyn and properly propose to Jane. Their secret courtship endured the War of 1812, Jane’s disapproving parents, the smallpox epidemic and accusations of an illegitimate child. On top of all of that, Brooklyn itself was going through many changes including the building of fortifications to protect itself during the War of 1812 and the eventual incorporation of the many neighborhoods into one unified borough of Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Museum Libraries and Archives have a fabulous collection of historic maps, and this one of Brooklyn from the 19th century really stood out to me. All the way to the right, you can see Malbone Street which was named after Ralph and attests to his ability to social climb and leave his mark on the city of Brooklyn.
A public program entitled Thy Sweetest Nectar: The Love Letters of Jane and Ralph Malbone will take place on Thursday February 16th from 6:00-8:00 pm at the Brooklyn Museum. Keep an eye on the Museum’s website for more details!
