EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Syrian Vineyard Workers Pausing for a Meal (recto); Text with Table (verso)" was created by Erhard Reuwich in the late 15th century, circa 1480s. It is a woodcut print taken from the book "Sanctae Peregrinationes" (Holy Travels) by Bernhard von Breydenbach, published in Mainz, Germany, in 1486. The recto side of the print depicts a serene scene of Syrian vineyard workers taking a break from their labor, seated on the ground and sharing a communal meal. The workers, dressed in traditional Middle Eastern garb, appear content and at ease, their faces expressing a sense of camaraderie and relaxation. The verdant vineyard stretches out behind them, with grapes ripe on the vines and the sun casting long shadows on the ground. The verso side of the print features a text and table, likely providing information about the location or the people depicted in the image. The intricate lettering and attention to detail in the woodcut demonstrate the high level of craftsmanship and artistry of the time. This print is a valuable historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the daily life of Syrian vineyard workers during the Renaissance period. It is also an important example of incunable (early printed book) art and the role of woodcut prints in the dissemination of knowledge and culture during the late Middle Ages. The print is now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), in the United States, and is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the past. The black and white image, with its intricate details and timeless subject matter, continues to captivate viewers and inspire wonder about the world and its history.
