EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Lantern maker" takes us back to the 16th century in Germany. Created by the talented artist Jost Amman, this woodcut is part of his renowned collection called the Book of Trades or Das Standebuch. Intricately detailed, the image showcases a lantern maker engrossed in his craft. With focused concentration, he meticulously shapes and assembles each delicate piece of the lantern. The fine lines etched into the woodcut bring out every nuance of his workmanship. Accompanying this remarkable artwork is an insightful rhyme penned by Hans Sachs, adding another layer to its historical significance. Sachs was a prominent poet during that era and contributed greatly to German literature. This print not only serves as a visual representation but also offers a glimpse into social history through its depiction of various tradespeople from different walks of life. It provides valuable insight into their roles within society at that time. As we admire this engraving, we are transported back centuries ago when craftsmanship was highly valued and celebrated. It reminds us of the importance placed on skilled labor and how these artisans played an integral role in shaping society. Brought to us by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this extraordinary print captures both artistic excellence and cultural heritage. Its presence evokes nostalgia for times long gone while igniting our curiosity about life during the 16th century in Germany.
