EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Ratcatcher" a remarkable artwork created by Abraham Bosse in the mid to late 17th century. The image portrays a man, dressed in traditional French attire of that era, who is an itinerant rat catcher. With his wooden peg leg prominently displayed, he stands as a testament to resilience and determination. Bosse's etching skillfully captures the essence of this occupation, which was both necessary and perilous during those times. The rat catcher's job was crucial for maintaining public health and hygiene as rats were carriers of disease. This particular individual seems confident and experienced in his role, holding up a dead rat triumphantly. The artist pays great attention to detail, highlighting not only the man's clothing but also his ruff collar - a fashion statement popular among the upper class at that time. This juxtaposition between high fashion and humble occupation adds depth to the image. "The Ratcatcher" serves as an important reminder of our historical heritage, shedding light on lesser-known professions from centuries past. It invites us to reflect upon how people made their living in different eras while showcasing Bosse's artistic talent through intricate etching techniques. Displayed within museums like The Met today, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless portrayal of human perseverance amidst challenging circumstances.
