EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the bustling silver mine of La Croix-aux-Mines in Lorraine, France during the 16th century. The image showcases the arduous process of transporting and delivering coal for the nearby forges. In this detailed pen and ink drawing, created by Heinrich Gross or Groff, we see a village nestled amidst a rural landscape. A cart pulled by horses takes center stage as it carries wicker baskets filled with coal. The team of horses is harnessed together, their muscles straining under the weight they bear. A worker stands beside the cart, shovel in hand, ready to load more coal onto it. His leather apron suggests he is prepared for hard labor in this mining environment. Behind him lies an imposing forge where skilled artisans would transform this coal into valuable resources. The composition exudes a sense of industry and hard work as workers go about their tasks diligently. This snapshot from history provides us with insight into the daily lives of those who toiled within these mines centuries ago. Preserved within Bibliotheque de l'Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France, this drawing serves as both a study and sketchbook entry capturing an important moment in time. It reminds us of the significant role that mining played during the Renaissance period while showcasing Gross or Groff's artistic talent and attention to detail.
