Der Künstler mit seiner Familie in Ferien 

Philipp Rumpf captured this family scene en plein air in watercolor. Note the composition with the family gathered around a table, deeply engaged in their work or studies. The theme of the family around a table can be traced back to scenes of the Last Supper or depictions of scholars in their study, symbolizing knowledge, nourishment, and familial bonds. Observe the figure to the right, who sits with a doll on a blanket. This iconography of leisure, childhood, and domesticity finds echoes in Renaissance depictions of Venus and Cupid or even earlier depictions of mother and child. These symbols continually resurface, evolve, and take on new meanings, reflecting our collective subconscious and cultural memory.
