EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Saturn, c. 15th" takes us back to the 15th century Italian countryside where mythological and agricultural pursuits intertwine. The central figure of Saturn commands attention as he rides a chariot across the sky, skillfully guided by a two-headed dragon. Below him, an array of scenes depict various representations of rural life. In this allegorical masterpiece, we witness farmers diligently ploughing their fields while others engage in threshing and cutting wood. A man confined within jail walls serves as a reminder that even in idyllic landscapes, justice prevails. Another unfortunate soul endures public humiliation in the stocks. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident as animals are slaughtered and butchered for sustenance amidst the bustling activities on the farm. Pigs roam freely while workers go about their daily tasks with purpose and determination. Beyond its visual allure lies a deeper symbolism - an ode to Italy's rich agricultural heritage and its people's unwavering dedication to farming occupations. This print encapsulates not only the physical labor involved but also highlights how these pursuits were deeply intertwined with mythology and ancient beliefs. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene, we are transported back in time - immersed in an era where nature thrived alongside human endeavors; where hard work was celebrated through artistic expression; where Saturn reigned supreme over both land and sky.
