EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "FVQ-F-141060-0000" we are transported back in time to the enchanting era of 1870. The image showcases a humble peasant standing proudly next to a magnificent pair of draft horses, capturing the essence of farming and country life. The photograph exudes an air of simplicity and authenticity, as it portrays the farmer with his weathered face reflecting years of hard work under the sun. His rugged hands rest gently on one horse's sturdy flank, while his gaze meets ours with a mix of determination and wisdom. It is evident that he shares an unbreakable bond with these gentle giants who have been faithful companions throughout his arduous journey. The draft horses themselves command attention, their muscular frames radiating strength and power. They stand tall against a rustic backdrop, embodying both gracefulness and resilience. These terrestrial mammals symbolize not only the backbone of agricultural labor but also represent the deep connection between humans and animals in our shared history. Photographer Achille Quinet skillfully captures this poignant moment frozen in time, allowing us to reflect upon our roots and appreciate the beauty found within everyday rural life. Through his lens, Quinet invites us into a world where nature reigns supreme, reminding us that amidst technological advancements, there is still immense value in embracing simplicity. This extraordinary print from Alinari transports us back to an era when farming was at its core - where man worked harmoniously alongside nature's creatures for survival. It serves as a timeless reminder that despite progressions over time; our bond with animals remains essential for sustenance as well as emotional fulfillment.
