Midday, plate three from Four Times of Day
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by the renowned Dutch artist Jan Saenredam, created around 1595. This masterpiece is part of a series of four prints, each depicting different times of the day, showcasing the daily life and occupations of people in the Netherlands during the seventeenth century. In this particular image, Saenredam captures the essence of midday or noon. Three individuals are engaged in the carpentry profession, busy at work in a small workshop. The central figure is a man, likely the master carpenter, who is intently sawing a plank with a large, sharp saw. He is dressed in traditional clothing of the time, with a long, flowing coat and a wide-brimmed hat. To his left, a woman assists him by holding a piece of wood steady. She wears an apron and a simple, high-necked blouse, indicating her role as a helper in the workshop. The third figure, a man, is standing to the right, likely preparing another piece of wood for the carpenter to work on. The trio's focused expressions and their engaged postures convey the industrious nature of the midday hour. The engraving is executed on cream laid paper that has discolored to beige over time, adding to the antique charm of the artwork. The intricate details, such as the wood grain on the planks and the textures of the clothing, are beautifully rendered, making this print a remarkable testament to the skill and artistry of Jan Saenredam. This image offers a glimpse into the daily life and occupations of the people of the Low Countries during the seventeenth century.
