EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A mine, in 'De Re metallica', 1621" takes us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the world of metal extraction and shaping. Created by Agricola, Georgius (1494-1555), this detailed artwork showcases the laborious process involved in mining and metallurgy during that era. The scene depicts a bustling mining community where workers are engrossed in their professions. The engraver skillfully captures the essence of their occupation as they toil away with determination. From miners diligently extracting precious metals from deep within the earth to colliers transporting heavy loads on their backs, every aspect of this industry is showcased with precision. The artist's attention to detail extends beyond human figures; even agricultural elements like ploughing and farming can be observed in the background. This inclusion highlights how interconnected these industries were during that time period. Through this print, we gain insight into not only a specific moment in history but also witness the dedication and hard work required for such occupations. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' relentless pursuit of progress through manual labor. Patrice Cartier's masterful reproduction brings this historical artwork to life once again, allowing us to appreciate its artistic merit while reflecting on centuries-old practices that have shaped our modern world.
