EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a historical masterpiece titled "Butcher De Vleeshouwer". Created by Jan Luyken in Amsterdam back in 1694, this etching on paper measures 142 mm in height and 80 mm in width. The artwork is part of the larger series called "Menselyk Bedryf" which focuses on various handicrafts and craftsmen at work. In this particular piece, we are transported to the bustling world of a butcher's shop. The scene captures the essence of traditional butchery as we witness the skilled craftsman meticulously carrying out his duties. Luyken's attention to detail is truly remarkable, as he portrays every aspect of this ancient trade with precision and accuracy. From the sharp tools used for cutting meat to the neatly arranged carcasses hanging from hooks, every element contributes to an authentic representation of a butcher's daily routine. As we gaze upon this centuries-old image, it serves as a reminder of how much our society has evolved over time. It allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship involved but also provides insight into historical practices that have shaped our present-day methods. This print offers art enthusiasts and history lovers alike an opportunity to delve into Amsterdam's rich cultural heritage while celebrating one artisan's contribution to their community.
