Carpenters Carpentry Ladder Sawing Social History
The Sawyers, 1692
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Jean Tassel that offers a glimpse into the world of carpentry during the late 17th century. The artwork, measuring 63 x 80 cm, can be found at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Strasbourg, France. In this scene, Tassel skillfully captures the essence of daily life for these skilled craftsmen known as "Les Scieurs de long". With their tools in hand and focused expressions on their faces, they are seen diligently sawing through a large piece of wood. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush - from the intricate patterns on their clothing to the texture of the wooden ladder they stand upon. This painting not only showcases the technical aspects of carpentry but also provides valuable insight into social history. It serves as a reminder of how integral woodworking was to society during this period. Carpenters played an essential role in constructing buildings and creating furniture, contributing greatly to both practicality and aesthetics. "The Sawyers" invites viewers to appreciate not only the craftsmanship depicted but also reflects on how daily tasks like sawing were once central elements of people's lives. Through its rich historical context and artistic brilliance, this print transports us back in time while reminding us of our connection with those who came before us.
