EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Country Life" takes us back to the rural landscapes of medieval times. The image, reproduced from a woodcut in a folio edition of Virgin published in Lyons in 1517, offers a glimpse into the daily lives of peasants during the 16th century. In this scene, we witness various activities that constituted their everyday existence. A group of villagers can be seen feeding pigs with acorns while others engage in cooking and spinning tasks. The sound of chopping wood resonates through the air as one individual diligently prepares fuel for warmth and sustenance. The village itself exudes an aura of simplicity and tranquility, nestled amidst nature's embrace. As life unfolds, inhabitants are captured indulging in moments such as eating together or hunting with primitive catapults for survival. A majestic deer gracefully grazes nearby, reminding us that harmony between humans and wildlife was once cherished. Amidst these rustic scenes lies evidence of constant labor - mending fences and building structures to protect their homes and livelihoods. It is within these humble yet industrious efforts that we find the essence of country life during this era. Through this evocative lithograph by Paul Lacroix from his renowned work "Le Moyen Age et La Renaissance" we are transported to a time long gone but preserved forever within art's embrace. This private collection piece serves as a testament to our shared history, allowing us to appreciate the beauty found within ordinary moments centuries ago.
