EDITORS COMMENTS
by Jost Amman is a captivating 16th-century print that offers us a glimpse into the world of trades and professions during the Renaissance era. This finely detailed engraving showcases the artistry and skill of both the artist and the baker, immersing us in their bustling world. Amman's woodcut depicts a busy bakery scene, where we find our central figure, The Baker, engrossed in his craft. With flour-dusted hands and focused eyes, he expertly kneads dough to create delicious loaves of bread. The aroma of freshly baked goods fills the air as trays upon trays are prepared for eager customers. This illustration not only captures an ordinary day at work but also highlights the importance of bakers in society. They were essential figures who provided sustenance to communities, ensuring no one went hungry. Through this image, we can appreciate their dedication to their vocation. Accompanying this remarkable artwork is a poetic rhyme by Hans Sachs that further enhances our understanding of The Baker's role. It beautifully encapsulates his commitment to his trade while adding depth to our appreciation for this ancient profession. The colorization process breathes new life into this historical piece, allowing us to experience it with fresh eyes while still honoring its original essence.
