EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Afternoon" we are transported back in time to witness the intricate industrial process of sawing wood. The scene is set outdoors, where a skilled carpenter is diligently working on his craft. With focused determination, he guides the sharp teeth of the saw through a thick piece of timber, creating symmetrical cuts that will soon be transformed into something remarkable. Seated nearby is a woman engrossed in her own task, surrounded by bobbins and lace. Her delicate hands move swiftly as she weaves together threads with precision and grace. The juxtaposition of these two artisans highlights the diversity of skills required to bring beauty and functionality to life. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn upward towards the sky where Apollo himself seems present. A fluffy cloud hovers above, casting its gentle shadow over the scene below. It's as if nature itself acknowledges and admires their craftsmanship. "The Afternoon" captures not only an industrious moment but also evokes a sense of tranquility amidst hard work. Through the lens of Quint Lox's camera, Jan Saenredam, Cornelius Schonaeus, and Gerard Valck's artistry comes alive once more for us to appreciate centuries later - a testament to their enduring legacy in woodworking and lace-making alike.
