EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut illustration is taken from Decadas, plate 79 of the portfolio "Woodcuts from Books of the XVI Century," assembled in 1937 by Max Geisberg. The image, hailing from the 16th century, showcases a rich and intricate scene filled with both male and female figures. The woodcut on paper is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of the time, with meticulous attention to detail in the lettering, clothing, and facial expressions of the figures. The scene is set in a rural location, with a man and a woman standing in the foreground, gazing at each other with intense emotion. Behind them, a group of men are engaged in various activities, including hunting, farming, and tending to animals. The intricate lettering in the upper portion of the image suggests that this may be a depiction from a literary work of the time. Max Geisberg's assembly of these woodcuts into a portfolio in the 1930s allowed for the preservation and appreciation of these historical treasures. The image, with its bold lines and stark contrasts, transports us back in time to the 16th century, offering a glimpse into the daily life and artistic sensibilities of the era. This artifact is now part of the permanent collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors from around the world.
