EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Punishment of Servants" transports us back to the 15th or 16th century, offering a glimpse into the harsh realities of that time. The engraving, created by Hans Burgkmair and featured in Otto Henne Am Rhyn's book on German cultural history, depicts a scene of cruelty and brutality. In this historical image, we witness servants being punished for their perceived wrongdoings. Chained and helpless, they endure floggings from their masters' whips. The severity of their beatings is evident as their bodies bear the marks of previous lashings. This powerful artwork serves as a reminder of the social hierarchy prevalent during this era. It sheds light on the power dynamics between masters and servants, highlighting the immense control wielded by those in positions of authority. As we contemplate this engraving's significance within German history, it prompts us to reflect on how far society has come in terms of human rights and treatment since then. This image stands as a testament to our progress while also serving as an important reminder not to forget our past. Bridgeman Images presents us with yet another thought-provoking piece that encourages dialogue about our collective history and its impact on contemporary society.
