EDITORS COMMENTS
Milk below Maids, 1793, by Luigi Schiavonetti This 18th-century color stipple engraving, created by the renowned Italian artist Luigi Schiavonetti, transports us back in time to the quaint streets of Britain. The image showcases a scene of daily life, with two milkmaids, dressed in traditional clothing, carrying buckets of milk from a nearby farm. The milk is being poured into a large, ornate bucket, which is suspended from a wooden yoke, balanced on the shoulders of one of the maids. The setting is a narrow, cobblestone street, illuminated by the soft glow of a street lamp. A dog and its puppy can be seen in the foreground, adding a playful touch to the scene. In the background, a woman in fashionable dress, holding a lamp, observes the milkmaids at work. The intricate details of the clothing, the textures of the fabric, and the realistic portrayal of the milkmaids and their surroundings are a testament to Schiavonetti's masterful skill as an engraver. This engraving, a beautiful example of the color stipple technique, is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery. It provides a glimpse into the past, offering insights into the daily life and occupations of the people of the eighteenth century. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this piece in its collection, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
