EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "A Dealer in Eggs" a remarkable woodcut by Cesare Vecellio, dating back to the 16th century. The image, reproduced from Le Moyen Age et La Renaissance by Paul Lacroix and published in 1847, offers a glimpse into the bustling medieval market scene. In this enchanting composition, we see a female vendor adorned with an exquisite headdress and hat, skillfully balancing baskets filled with eggs. Her attire reflects the fashion of the era as she sets off to market with her precious goods. The meticulous attention to detail in this lithograph transports us back in time. The artwork captures not only the essence of daily life during the Renaissance but also highlights the importance of poultry trade during that period. The eggs symbolize fertility and abundance while representing a valuable commodity for both culinary purposes and religious rituals. This extraordinary piece is part of a private collection curated by Ken Welsh and is now available for all art enthusiasts to admire. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed since its creation.
