The School Teacher

Francesco Bergamini

The School Teacher by Francesco Bergamini

Step into a chaotic 19th-century classroom where discipline is more of a suggestion than a rule! In the center sits the weary schoolmaster, trying to impart wisdom to a boy leaning in close, while the rest of the class is up to no good. To the left, a student is sneakily devouring an orange instead of reading, and on the right, a group of boys are huddled together whispering secrets. Bergamini captures the universal truth of school days—half the kids are trying to learn, and the other half are just waiting for the bell to ring.
