The Baker, 1568 (engraving) by Jost Amman captures the essence of a bustling bakery in the 16th century. This detailed print from the Book of Trades showcases the skilled craftsmanship and dedication of bakers during this era.

The aroma of warm dough fills the air as he tends to his oven with expertise and precision. The baker's hands are covered in flour, evidence of his tireless efforts to provide sustenance for his community. Jost Amman's intricate engravings bring to life every aspect of this profession - from kneading dough to shaping perfectly formed loaves. Accompanied by Hans Sachs' poetic rhyme, this artwork not only celebrates the artistry involved but also highlights the importance of food supply in society.
