EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 16th century, capturing a moment from an engraving by Jost Amman. The image depicts a poultry supplier, his dog faithfully following him as he carries his wares on his shoulders. Dressed in traditional clothing and wearing a hat, the man walks with purpose through what appears to be a bustling medieval street. The monochrome tones add depth and character to this snapshot of history, emphasizing the contrast between light and shadow. The attention to detail is remarkable, showcasing Amman's skill as an artist. Every feather on the birds is meticulously etched into the engraving, bringing them to life even though they are no longer among the living. There is something haunting about this scene - perhaps it's the presence of death represented by one of the chickens being carried or maybe it's simply because we are witnessing a glimpse into a long-gone era. Regardless, this image transports us back centuries ago when men like this supplier played vital roles in their communities. As we admire this 19th-century version of Amman's original work, we can't help but marvel at how art has preserved moments like these for generations to come. It serves as a reminder that while times may change and progress marches forward relentlessly, there will always be value in looking back at our roots and appreciating where we came from.
