EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of silver mining and processing in Kutna Hora during the second half of the 15th century. Created by Master Matheus, a renowned illuminator whose legacy lives on through his remarkable works, this painting offers a glimpse into an important chapter of history. The image depicts a bustling scene within a gothic mine in Bohemia, Czechia. Miners can be seen diligently working amidst dimly lit tunnels, their determined expressions reflecting the arduous nature of their labor. The fine art watercolour on parchment technique employed by Master Matheus adds depth and texture to every detail captured. Kutna Hora, also known as Kuttenberg at that time, was renowned for its rich silver deposits which fueled economic growth and prosperity. This genre painting not only serves as a visual documentation of daily life but also highlights the significance of mining in shaping regional history. Housed within a private collection, this exquisite artwork stands as a testament to both artistic skill and historical importance. Its preservation allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship involved in creating such masterpieces while providing valuable insights into past civilizations' industries and economies.
