EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut from the early 16th century depicts shepherds tending to their flocks with the help of their loyal dogs. The figure on the left stands out as he holds a set of bagpipes, adding a musical element to the pastoral scene. In addition to their traditional crooks for handling sheep, there are woodwind instruments scattered on the ground, hinting at a moment of rest and relaxation for these hardworking shepherds.
The intricate details in this print offer a glimpse into agricultural life in England during this period, showcasing the importance of livestock farming and rural traditions. The black and white imagery adds a timeless quality to the scene, transporting viewers back to a simpler time when shepherds roamed the countryside with their faithful companions by their side.
As part of The Shepheards Kalendar, this woodcut is not just a visual representation but also serves as a historical document capturing everyday life in 16th century England. It is a reminder of our connection to nature and animals, as well as the cultural significance of music in bringing people together even amidst their daily chores.
