Assisi Peasants Embark on a Timeless Tradition - Taking Geese to Market
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this black and white portrait captured by Thurston Hopkins in 1951, we are transported back in time to the charming streets of Assisi, Italy. The photograph showcases a scene that has been repeated for generations - locals taking their geese to the market. The image is filled with an air of simplicity and community as both men and women can be seen walking together, pushing bicycles laden with baskets holding their precious cargo. The vertical composition allows us to appreciate the architectural beauty of Assisi's urban streetscape while also highlighting the close-knit relationships within this tight-knit community. As we delve deeper into the photo, our attention is drawn towards a couple at the forefront who appear engaged in conversation while carefully guiding their feathered companions forward. Their faces reflect determination mixed with pride as they partake in this age-old tradition that has sustained families for years. The presence of geese adds an element of liveliness to the scene, symbolizing not only economic livelihood but also cultural significance. These birds were not just commodities; they represented a connection between nature and daily life in rural Italy. Thurston Hopkins' archival photograph serves as a poignant reminder of simpler times when communities relied on each other for survival and cherished traditions were passed down through generations. It encapsulates Italian culture, showcasing its vibrant street scenes intertwined with everyday activities like transporting goods to market. This timeless print from Fine Art Store
