EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the illustrated title page from De Agricultura, a renowned woodcut created by the Italian School in the 15th century. Measuring 22x15 cm, this piece is part of a private collection and holds great historical significance. The woodcut depicts scenes from Pietro de Crescenzi's treatise on agriculture, which was first published in Augsburg by Johann Schussler in 1471. This edition specifically represents an Italian version of Ruralia Commoda, making it one of the earliest printed texts on modern agriculture. In this intricate artwork, we see a bustling courtyard filled with people engaged in various activities related to farming and rural life. Men can be seen conversing while others are busy tending to horses or working with tools. A young boy confidently rides a horse as he explores his surroundings. The woodblock technique used to create this illustration adds depth and texture to each element captured within its frame. The attention to detail is remarkable, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the vibrant world depicted here. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness agricultural practices during the late 13th and early 15th centuries. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring connection with nature and our continuous quest for knowledge and progress in cultivating the land.
