EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to Amsterdam in 1694, where we witness a craftsman at work. Titled "Watchmaker De Orlosimaaker" this image is part of the renowned series called "The Menselyk Bedryf" (Human Occupations). In this etching by Jan Luyken, we are transported into the world of a skilled watchmaker or clockmaker. The artist meticulously captures every detail of the craftsman's workshop, showcasing his tools and instruments with precision. We can almost hear the gentle ticking of timepieces as he delicately works on them. Amsterdam was known for its thriving craftsmanship during this period, and Luyken beautifully portrays the dedication and skill required in such trades. Through his artistry, he not only documents an occupation but also pays homage to these unsung heroes who played a crucial role in keeping time for society. Measuring just 139 mm by 80 mm on paper, this etching transports us to another era where handcrafted objects were highly valued. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern age of digital watches and smartphones, there is still something enchanting about witnessing a master craftsman at work. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from centuries ago, let it inspire us to appreciate both the beauty found within handmade objects and those who dedicate their lives to preserving traditional craftsmanship.
