EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a butcher's trade in 1568. Created by Jost Amman, a renowned German engraver from the 16th century, this woodcut is part of his collection called "Das Standebuch" or "The Book of Trades". The intricate details and skillful execution showcase the artistry involved in depicting everyday professions during that era. Accompanied by a rhyme composed by Hans Sachs, another prominent figure in literature at the time, this artwork offers a glimpse into the social history and cultural significance of butchers in Germany. The tinted drawing adds depth and dimension to the scene, bringing to life an important aspect of European life during this period. Through its illustrations and poetry, this piece not only serves as an artistic representation but also provides insight into the literary arts and historical context of that time. It reminds us how art can be used as a medium to explore various aspects of society beyond mere aesthetics. Displayed here is just one example from Jost Amman's remarkable body of work - an invaluable contribution to both German and European art history. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate and preserve these significant pieces for generations to come.
