BLACKSMITH, c1250 - A Glimpse into the Skilled Craftsmanship of Jordanus Ruffus
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the 13th century, where we witness the remarkable work of Jordanus Ruffus, a renowned blacksmith and stablemaster in service to Emperor Frederick II. The woodcut, originating from a 1502 edition of Ruffuss Libro de la natura di cavalli (Book on Horse Nature), beautifully captures the essence of this skilled artisan. In this image, we see Jordanus at his forge, surrounded by tools and materials essential to his craft. With focused determination etched upon his face, he meticulously shapes an iron block upon an anvil. His expertise is evident as he harnesses fire and force to transform raw metal into functional works of art. Beyond being a master blacksmith, Jordanus also holds the esteemed position of stablemaster. This dual role highlights his deep understanding not only of metallurgy but also horsemanship – crucial skills for serving within Emperor Frederick II's court. The woodcut itself showcases intricate details that bring this historical moment to life. From the texture on Jordanus' apron to every stroke illustrating flames dancing in the forge's hearth; it is clear that both artist and subject have left no stone unturned in their pursuit of authenticity. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity throughout history while paying homage to those who dedicated their lives mastering ancient crafts
