EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 16th-century woodcut, we see a shepherd diligently guarding his flock at night. Clutching his bagpipes under his arm, he stands watch with two loyal dogs by his side, their spiked collars serving as a warning to any potential threats. However, in the background lurks a cunning wolf, seizing the opportunity to snatch away an unsuspecting lamb.
The scene is fraught with tension and drama as the shepherd battles against nature's predators to protect his livelihood. The intricate details of the print bring to life the harsh realities faced by those who rely on agriculture for sustenance.
As we gaze upon this historic image, we are transported back in time to an era when survival depended on vigilance and courage. The shepherd's stoic expression speaks volumes about the resilience required to endure such challenges.
This print serves as a poignant reminder of the timeless struggle between man and beast, highlighting the delicate balance that exists within our natural world. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of those who work tirelessly to ensure the safety and well-being of their flock.
