EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a busy rural scene from the 17th century, where villagers are seen trawling the river to net fish. The most striking element of this historical image is the presence of the moon, known as Luna, in her chariot passing overhead. The natural phenomena of the moon's appearance adds a mystical and enchanting quality to the already bustling activity below. The villagers depicted in the scene are clad in scanty attire, highlighting their hard work and dedication to their task of fishing. The river appears teeming with life as they diligently go about their work under the watchful gaze of Luna above. This print offers a glimpse into a bygone era when rural life was intertwined with celestial events and natural wonders. It serves as a reminder of our connection to both the earth beneath our feet and the vast expanse of space above us. Overall, this print is not just a visual representation of historical fishing practices but also an exploration of humanity's relationship with nature and its place within the cosmos. It invites viewers to ponder on themes such as tradition, labor, and our place in the universe.
