EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print titled "Shepherd with Plumb Line" takes us back to the late medieval period in France. Published in Paris in 1493 as part of the Compost et Kalendrier des Bergiers, it showcases a shepherd using a plumb line for measurement and accuracy. In this image, we see a man dressed in traditional shepherd attire standing outside against an idyllic countryside backdrop. He holds a staff firmly in one hand while his other hand delicately handles the plumb line. The plumb line itself consists of a weighted tool attached to a string or cord, used by craftsmen and builders for centuries to ensure vertical alignment. The woodcut technique employed here adds depth and texture to the scene, enhancing its medieval charm. The artist's attention to detail is evident through intricate linework that brings life to every element: from the folds of the shepherd's robe to the natural contours of his face. Through this artwork, we are transported into an era where precision was valued even in everyday tasks like shepherding. It serves as a reminder of how tools like plumb lines were essential not only for construction but also for maintaining balance and order within society. Granger Art on Demand offers us an opportunity to appreciate historical prints like these, preserving their beauty and significance for generations to come.
