EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of rural life in 19th century Europe. The focal point of the image is "The Plough" a remarkable sculpture created by Davide Calandra, which now resides in the prestigious National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome. Dating back to around 1880-1915, this masterpiece embodies the artistic movement of Realism, showcasing its intricate details and lifelike representation. The sculpture depicts a farmer diligently guiding his plow through the fertile soil, accompanied by a pair of sturdy oxen. It beautifully encapsulates the symbiotic relationship between man and nature that defined agricultural practices during this era. The photograph itself was taken circa 1890, capturing not only the timeless beauty of Calandra's work but also providing us with a glimpse into everyday life at that time. It showcases an idyllic countryside scene with rolling hills as far as the eye can see, evoking a sense of tranquility and simplicity. As we observe this snapshot from history, we are reminded of how vital farming and country life were for sustaining communities during this period. The presence of farm vehicles and instruments further emphasizes humanity's reliance on these tools to cultivate their land effectively. Anderson's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind "The Plough" and its historical context within European society. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity while honoring centuries-old traditions passed down through generations.
