EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Woman of Scandinavia, 16th century" takes us back in time to the vibrant and intricate world of the Renaissance. Created by Christoph Krieger in the late 16th century, this print showcases a woman from Scandinavia dressed in traditional attire. The woman holds a lit taper delicately between her lips, using it as a candle to light up her surroundings. Her long dress is adorned with an apron and she carries a purse filled with needles, emphasizing her skillful craftsmanship. Wooden tapers are neatly tucked into her belt while she expertly spins thread using a spindle. Every detail has been meticulously captured within the decorative frame engraved by H. Catenacci and Fellmann. The woodblock engraving itself was done by Gerard Seguin and E. F. Huyot after an original woodcut by Christoph Krieger. This image is part of Cesare Vecellio's renowned work "Costumes anciens et modernes" which beautifully depicts historical costumes from around the world during the 16th century. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork, we are transported to a time when spinning and weaving were essential skills for women like her. It serves as a reminder of their immense contribution to society through their craftsmanship and dedication. Through its intricate details and rich history, this engraving offers us a glimpse into the past while celebrating the beauty of Scandinavian culture during the Renaissance period.
