Painting Description
"Study of a Man Digging, for 'When Adam Delved'" is an artwork by the Scottish painter and engraver William Strang (1859–1921). Known for his diverse subject matter and mastery of various printmaking techniques, Strang often explored social and historical themes through his art. This particular work is believed to be a preparatory study for a larger piece, possibly inspired by the medieval English priest John Ball's sermon which included the phrase "When Adam delved and Eve span, who was then the gentleman?" This line became a rallying cry for social equality during the Peasants' Revolt of 1381.
The artwork captures the physicality and effort of manual labor, as the subject is depicted in the act of digging. Strang's attention to detail and his ability to convey the movement and strain of the laborer's body reflect his skill in realism and his interest in the human condition. The study serves not only as an exploration of form and technique but also as a commentary on the dignity of labor and the social issues of the time.
As a member of the Glasgow School, William Strang was part of a movement that contributed significantly to the development of modern art in Scotland at the turn of the 20th century. His works are held in various public collections, including the British Museum and the Tate Gallery. "Study of a Man Digging, for 'When Adam Delved'" is an example of Strang's commitment to capturing the essence of his subjects and his engagement with the political and social discourse of his era.
