Psalm 100, Vers 2 (Lobsingende Jungfrauen)
Psalm 100, Verse 2 (Praising Virgins)

Psalm 100, Verse 2 (Praising Virgins), ca. 1895

“I am moved by this painting by Willy Spatz. The motif of the two girls conjures memories of a carefree childhood and family relationships, especially sibling bonds. To emphasise this connection, the sisters are wearing identical dresses and have their arms around each other. This gesture is reminiscent of the 'Prinzessinnengruppe' (Princesses Group) sculpture by Johann Gottfried Schadow. Here, too, the intimate relationship is expressed by the closeness of the two figures. The fleeting moment that the artist captures in his depiction also reveals the different personalities of the two children.” Gunda Luyken, Head of the Department of Prints and Drawings

About the workAt the turn of the twentieth century, Willy Spatz combined traditional subjects with contemporary compositions. The two girls with the flower and plant motifs very much corresponded to the tastes of the time. However, Spatz turned this everyday scene into a biblical event: he exhibited the painting under the title “Praising Virgins (Psalm 100, Verse 2)”. This Bible verse begins with the words “Worship the Lord with gladness”. As a teacher, Spatz played an important role for many younger artists in Düsseldorf, whether at the art academy or in private lessons.
