EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 16th century, capturing a scene of thimble makers hard at work in their workshop. The image is actually a 19th-century version based on an original wood engraving from that era. It comes from the renowned book "Le Moyen Age et la Renaissance" by Paul Lacroix, Ferdinand Sere, and A Rivaud. In this snapshot of history, we see skilled craftsmen diligently engaged in their occupation. Seated at a workbench near a window, they meticulously shape thimbles using traditional techniques. Their focused expressions reveal the dedication and expertise required for such delicate craftsmanship. The atmosphere within the workshop seems alive with activity as tools are wielded and metal is shaped under careful hands. The rhythmic sound of hammers hitting metal resonates throughout the space, creating an ambiance that speaks volumes about industry and hard work. This image not only captures a moment frozen in time but also represents an entire profession during the 16th century. It serves as a reminder of how different our world was centuries ago when handmade goods were valued above all else. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece by Jost Amman (also known as Justus Amman), we can't help but appreciate his ability to transport us back through time with his artistry. This print allows us to glimpse into the past while celebrating both historical significance and artistic excellence.
