EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "BELL MAKER, 1568" takes us back in time to witness the craftsmanship of a skilled artisan. In this woodcut by Jost Amman, we are transported to a middle-class German workshop where a family is engaged in the art of bell making. The scene depicts a husband and wife duo diligently working together at a wooden table. The father, dressed in traditional attire, skillfully hammers away at small pieces of metal while his wife assists him with calligraphy work on the bells. Their young son sits nearby, playing with a hobby horse and observing his parents' craft. The interior of the workshop reveals an array of tools and materials scattered around - mallets, counter weights, and various types of bells waiting to be completed. A window allows natural light to illuminate their workspace as they pour their expertise into each creation. This snapshot from Renaissance Germany showcases not only the technical skill required for bell making but also highlights the importance of passing down knowledge through generations. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly mundane objects like tambourines or sleigh bells hold historical significance and were once meticulously crafted by dedicated artisans like this Bell Maker family in 1568.
