FVQ-F-171058-0000 - Peasants during the Cleaning of the Ears of Corn
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time to rural Italy in the late 1930s with this print by Arnaldi Edith. The image captures a timeless scene of hardworking peasants engaged in the meticulous task of cleaning ears of corn. In this snapshot, we witness an intimate moment within the farming community as individuals meticulously remove husks from freshly harvested maize. Each peasant is dressed in traditional clothing, showcasing their connection to both fashion and functionality. Their wide-brimmed hats shield them from the scorching sun, while baskets nearby hold discarded husks. The composition is enriched by lush vegetation surrounding these dedicated workers. Leaves and other vegetal elements frame their laborious efforts, emphasizing their deep connection to nature's bounty. This photograph serves as a testament to their vocation and work ethic. Located in Lazio, Italy, this European region has long been known for its agricultural heritage. The subjects' ethnicity reflects the diverse population and nationalities found throughout Europe during that era. Arnaldi Edith's masterful capture transports us back to a simpler time when manual labor was essential for survival. It offers a glimpse into an age-old tradition passed down through generations – one that celebrates not only hard work but also reverence for nature's gifts. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our shared human history and invites contemplation on themes such as anthropology, ethnography, folklore, and our intrinsic ties to land and culture.
