  JOHANN PETER HASENCLEVER OIL ON CANVASJOHANN PETER HASENCLEVER (Germany, 1810-1853) oil on canvas, "Der erste Schultag" (First Day of School) also known by alternate title, "Lassetdie Kinderlein zu mir" (Let the Children Come to Me). Featuring a rural mid-19th century German classroom in chaos and pandemonium. A father holding a basket of egg, a dead rooster, and pushing his son forward to present to an elderly teacher occupied with spanking a screaming child over his knee. The school children are clearly out of the teacher's control with some crying, some hiding, one boy drawing a donkey on the wall, some laughing, one boy with his fist up in anger, and a few students in the background studiously reading and writing. The classroom itself is deteriorating with holes and debris on the floor, chipped and stained plaster, a torn map of Europe, piles of books in disarray, and a violin with broken strings. Signed "J.P. Hasenclever" lower right. Image measures 35" x 44". In a wood frame; 40.5" x 49.5" overall. Provenance: passed down within the family.
