EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Wine and Song, 1895" we are transported back in time to witness a lively scene filled with merriment and joy. Painted by the talented artist Nils Bergslien, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 150x280 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The focal point of the painting is a group of Franciscan monks gathered around several wine barrels in what appears to be a bustling wine cellar. Dressed in their traditional habits, these merry friars are engaged in various activities that reflect their jovial state - some are singing at the top of their lungs while others play musical instruments like guitars. The atmosphere is undoubtedly fun-filled and exuberant. It's evident that these monks have indulged themselves quite generously as they appear slightly tipsy, if not outright drunk. Their laughter fills the air as they revel in each other's company, enjoying every sip from their glasses with great enthusiasm. The vibrant colors used by Bergslien bring out the liveliness of the scene even further. "Wine and Song" captures a moment frozen in time where inhibitions are shed, allowing for pure enjoyment among friends. This painting reminds us of the simple pleasures found through camaraderie and celebration. It serves as an invitation to embrace life's joys wholeheartedly without reservation or restraint – just like these spirited Franciscan monks depicted here over a century ago.
