Midday
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by Hendrik Goltzius, depicting a bustling scene from the 16th century. This historical artwork showcases the intricate details of everyday life during that era. In the foreground, we see a woman engrossed in lacemaking, her nimble fingers delicately weaving threads to create exquisite patterns. Beside her, a carpenter diligently works on his woodworking project with his plane and saw. The image captures the essence of midday, as sunlight streams through an open window, casting shadows on the wooden floor. The room is filled with tools and materials characteristic of the time period – lace bobbins, fabric swatches, and various woodworking implements. Goltzius's attention to detail brings this moment in history to life. The viewer can almost hear the sounds of sewing needles piercing fabric and wood being shaped under skilled hands. It offers us a glimpse into the craftsmanship and artistry that defined this era. This print was originally created as an illustration for "Kulturgeschichtliches Bilderbuch aus drei Jahrhunderten" a book by Georg Hirth published in Leipzig and Munchen between 1881-1890. With its digitally cleaned image now available for viewing, we are able to appreciate Goltzius's masterful technique even more clearly. "Midday" serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable historical document that transports us back in time to witness ordinary people engaged in their daily tasks during one fateful afternoon centuries ago.
