EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Ludwig Friedrich Wilhelm Riefstahl depicts a serene scene of Cistercian monks diligently working in the fields of a monastery farm. The image, taken from the Bildersaal Deutscher Geschichte, beautifully captures the essence of agricultural life in 19th century Germany. In this idyllic setting, we see the monks tending to their tasks with unwavering dedication and harmony. The oxen plow through the fertile soil as these religious men cultivate the land, embodying both physical labor and spiritual devotion. The vast expanse of meadows and pastures surrounding them creates a picturesque backdrop for their work. The presence of wildlife adds an element of liveliness to this tranquil tableau. Birds soar overhead while other creatures find solace amidst nature's bounty. It is within this natural environment that these Christian monks find solace and purpose, embracing their faith as they nurture God's creation. This engraving not only showcases the beauty of rural life but also highlights the importance of agriculture in sustaining communities during that era. It serves as a reminder that even within religious orders, there exists a deep connection to nature and its bountiful offerings. Riefstahl's skillful craftsmanship brings forth every intricate detail with precision and finesse, allowing us to immerse ourselves in this historical moment captured on paper. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how these Cistercian monks harmoniously coexist with both man and nature on their sacred land.
