EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, titled "A scene of work in the fields" we are transported back to a simpler time in rural Italy. The image captures the essence of farming and country life during the late 19th century. The focal point of the photograph is a hardworking peasant, diligently plowing the land with the help of two mighty oxen. The immense strength and determination displayed by both man and beast is awe-inspiring. As they pull the heavy plow through the earth, their synchronized movements create a harmonious rhythm that speaks volumes about their deep connection to nature. The landscape surrounding them is vast and breathtakingly beautiful. Rolling hills stretch as far as the eye can see, adorned with lush green fields that promise bountiful harvests. It's a serene countryside scene that evokes feelings of tranquility and simplicity. This image not only showcases traditional agricultural practices but also highlights humanity's reliance on animals for labor-intensive tasks like plowing. The oxen, terrestrial mammals who have been domesticated for centuries, play an integral role in shaping these landscapes. Photographed by Francesco Paolo Michetti between 1890-1900 ca. , this timeless piece immortalizes an era when manual labor was at its peak in rural communities across Italy. It serves as a reminder of our roots and pays homage to those who dedicated their lives to working tirelessly on these fertile lands. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot from history, we are reminded of how much has changed over time while acknowledging that some things remain constant – our connection to nature and our dependence on it for sustenance.
