Place setting for Anne Hutchinson

Anne Hutchinson before the tribunal

Anne Hutchinson was born as Anne Marbury in July 1591. She married Wiliam Hutchinson at the age of 21 and moved with him and the religious leader John Cotton to the British colony of Massachusetts in 1634. In her ward, she began holding weekly meetings that men and women could attend to discuss the final sermon. This led to increasing criticism of the Puritan practice and it came into conflict with the religious leaders of the settlement. She was tried in 1637 and expelled from the community. She and her husband moved to Rhode Island . There she foundeda religiously liberal colonywith Roger Williams , who had alsobeen banishedfrom the Puritan society of the Massachusetts Bay Colony . She later moved with her family to New York State, where she and her entire family were killed in an Indian attack in 1643.

Because of her religious belief that someone who achieved the status of "chosen" was considered equal in the group, she refused to raise the clergy above the other believers. This spiritual security of the elect made the role of the priests as mediators between God and man and as interpreters of God's word superfluous. The attitude of passive waiting in the conviction of being chosen brought the image of an ideal Christian closer to the social role of women and thus led to the appreciation of women. This created a significant attraction for women and this is considered an early form of feminism .

The place setting for Anne Hutchinson on the dinner party table takes up the motif of mourning; Grief for a great person, family member, or friend. There are several representations of grieving women on the table runner. In addition, a large weeping willow spans the space on which the plate is placed. This is designed similarly and in terms of color and shape, the painting on the plate takes on the shape of the weeping willow. Another element on the back of the table runner is a Greek urn on a gravestone base. She is flanked by two grieving women. Another grieving woman is on the front, next to the signature. The initial letter “A” is filled with the structure that can also be seen on the plate. The table runners and plates are made in dark earth tones, which underline the symbolism of mourning. For Chicago, the 17th century was a particularly low point in women's history. For them it was a symbol of the declining power of women that a religious woman was banished from society by the church. This low point is expressed in the place setting by the motif of mourning.
