Fotoreproductie van tien genretaferelen c. 1872 - 1882

This is a reproduction of ten genre scenes by Johannes Jaeger who was born in 1832 and died in 1908. This collection offers insight into the societal values and cultural norms prevalent during the 19th century. The scenes capture moments of everyday life which reflect the socio-economic structures and gender roles of the time. Consider how each image subtly reinforces or challenges the status quo. The depiction of domestic spaces, social gatherings, and interactions between individuals reveals the complex power dynamics at play. While these genre scenes might seem like simple representations, they actually offer an opportunity to examine the intricate relationship between art, identity, and historical context. The figures invite you to consider the stories of those whose lives are so different from our own, yet, whose emotional experiences remain so recognizable.
