The Production of Olive Oil, plate 13 from Nova Reperta - A Glimpse into the Ancient Art of Harvesting Liquid Gold
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back in time to witness the age-old process of olive oil production. Plate 13 from Nova Reperta, a series of engravings created by Philip Galle around 1600, offers a fascinating glimpse into this labor-intensive industry. In this scene captured by Jan van der Straet (Giovanni Stradano), we see peasants diligently working amidst an idyllic countryside backdrop. The image showcases the various stages involved in transforming olives into liquid gold – from harvesting and pressing to milling and storing. A donkey and mule stand patiently nearby, their presence essential for transporting heavy loads of olives or freshly pressed oil. Jars filled with precious golden elixir line the scene, symbolizing both abundance and prosperity. The hardworking laborers are depicted with meticulous detail, highlighting their dedication to this ancient craft. Their weathered faces tell stories of generations who have passed down these traditional methods through centuries. This enchanting print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder that behind every bottle of olive oil lies a rich history rooted in human ingenuity and perseverance. It is an homage to those who have dedicated their lives to perfecting this timeless art form - one that continues to nourish our bodies and enrich our culinary experiences today.
