EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Cooper" takes us back in time to the 16th century in Germany. Created by the talented artist Jost Amman, this woodcut is part of his renowned collection called "Das Standebuch" or "The Book of Trades". Intriguingly, the image portrays a cooper, also known as a barrel maker or der Buttner/Kufer in German. The cooper's skilled hands are meticulously crafting a wooden barrel with utmost precision and expertise. This depiction offers us an intimate glimpse into one of the many trades that flourished during this era. Accompanying this remarkable artwork is a rhyme composed by Hans Sachs, adding another layer of depth to its historical significance. Sachs was a prominent poet and playwright whose works captured various aspects of social life at that time. As we delve into this piece further, it becomes evident that it not only showcases exceptional craftsmanship but also serves as a testament to the literary arts prevalent during the period. The marriage between Amman's intricate engravings and Sachs' poetic verses creates an immersive experience for viewers. Transported to 16th-century Germany through this engraving, we gain insight into European history and culture from centuries past. It reminds us of how art can serve as both documentation and inspiration for future generations. Brought to us by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this print preserves an invaluable slice of history while offering endless opportunities for exploration within literature, illustration, poetry, and social history alike.
