EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Dentist (3793218 Dentist)" by Amman, Jost takes us back to the 16th century in Germany. The image is a woodcut engraving from the Book of Trades, also known as Das Standebuch, created by Jost Amman in 1568. Accompanying this remarkable artwork is a rhyme composed by Hans Sachs. The scene depicted showcases a dentist at work, referred to as "der Zahnbrecher" or "tooth breaker". This intriguing nickname reflects the perception of dentistry during that era. With meticulous detail and skillful execution, Amman captures the essence of this historical profession. As we delve into this piece's rich history and cultural significance, it becomes evident that it offers more than just an artistic representation. It serves as a window into social customs and practices prevalent in 16th-century Europe. The tinted drawing adds depth and dimension to the composition while enhancing its visual appeal. Through this medium, Amman masterfully brings to life not only the dentist but also his surroundings and tools of trade. Accompanied by poetry written by Hans Sachs, these illustrations become part of a larger narrative exploring various trades and professions during that time period. This amalgamation of literature and art provides valuable insights into both literary arts and historical contexts. With its fusion of aesthetics and storytelling elements, this print stands as an exquisite example of how art can transcend time. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece with utmost care so that contemporary audiences can appreciate its beauty while immersing themselves in centuries-old European culture.
