EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a wire worker from the 16th century, as depicted in Jost Amman's renowned woodcuts. The image is an exquisite representation of the trades and professions that thrived during the Renaissance period. With intricate detail and precision, Amman brings to life this skilled tradesman who dedicated his craft to working with wire. The wire worker's expertise is evident in his focused gaze and delicate movements as he manipulates the malleable material before him. His hands are nimble and experienced, showcasing years of dedication to perfecting his trade. This portrayal offers us a glimpse into the world of guilds and corporations that governed these occupations during this era. Accompanied by a rhyme penned by Hans Sachs, this image not only serves as a visual delight but also provides insight into the customs and manners prevalent at that time. It reminds us of how history has shaped our present-day understanding of craftsmanship and employment. Reproduced from Das Standebuch (The Book of Trades), published in 1568, this print holds immense historical value. Its inclusion in Paul Lacroix's comprehensive work on Manners, Customs & Dress during the Middle Ages further solidifies its significance within art history. Bridgeman Images' reproduction allows us to appreciate Amman's exceptional engraving skills while transporting us back to an era where artisans like this wire worker played vital roles in shaping society through their meticulous craftsmanship.
