Feeding the baby

Feeding the baby by Fritz Zuber-Bühler

Step into a 19th-century garden of Eden where parenthood is the main event. A bearded dad leans in for a sweet forehead kiss while mom, looking like a Renaissance angel in a white dress with blue trim, nurses their baby. They are tucked away on a rustic wooden bench, surrounded by so much leafy greenery it feels like a secret hideout. Zuber-Bühler was a Swiss master of these sentimental academic scenes, making family life look impossibly peaceful and perfect.
