Frederick McCubbin - Home Again
It's a classic 'honey I'm home' moment. But that's not the whole story.

Hi Geoff, what do you think of the idea of the white sheet over the cradle and the red of the table cloth eluding to the body of another man? Do you think that is reaching?

@artmeetsgeoff 9 месяцев назад

Maybe. Sometimes artists include details that speak of things they hadn’t even intended, yet arise out of their subconscious in some way. If you see that (and I can understand why), who knows. It’s fascinating how art can describe things just out of reach of “normal” thought.

I think you may have jumped to conclusions here. Maybe he had been gone less than 9 months, hence it could easily have been is his baby. It was not unusual for men to have had quite long beards at that time. She would have been surprised to hear anyone suddenly fly through the door without knocking and the added shock that it was him may have been the reason she didn't lift the iron. Why assume she had been unfaithful. A lot of men in that time who were away from their wives were unfaithful and possibly moreso.

Maybe. But men who went droving were often away longer. She may have thought him dead, rather than technically being unfaithful. But yes, your scenario is possible. To me, though, the clues in the painting as to the passage of time are why I came up with my scenario. It’s one of his more charming paintings, I think.
