EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history, showcasing the meticulous process of measuring mortar or plaster. Taken from the "Ordonnances Royaux de la Juridiction de la Prevote des Marchands de la Ville de Paris" published in 1528, this work of art is attributed to Antoine Verard. The image depicts a manual laborer diligently engaged in his task, highlighting the importance of precision and skill required in construction during medieval times. The vibrant watercolor and gouache on paper bring life to this ancient scene, transporting us back to an era where every aspect of building was done by hand. The worker's focused expression reveals his dedication as he measures out the necessary materials for creating strong foundations or decorative finishes. Published originally in 1501, this piece not only serves as a visual representation but also provides valuable insight into historical practices and techniques employed by plasterers. It reminds us of the craftsmanship that went into constructing magnificent structures that still stand today. Displayed at the Bibliotheque Historique de la Ville de Paris, this artwork offers a glimpse into the past while celebrating the hard work and expertise of those who contributed to shaping our architectural heritage.
