EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a skilled craftsman known as a gold beater. The image is an engraving from the renowned book "Les arts et metiers illustres" by Adolphe BITARD, capturing the essence of daily life in France during that era. The gold beater's meticulous work is evident in this artwork, as he delicately hammers thin sheets of gold into incredibly fine leaves. This ancient technique required immense precision and expertise, making it a true testament to human craftsmanship. The print not only highlights the artistry involved but also sheds light on manufacturing technology at that time. It serves as a reminder of how labor-intensive and intricate processes were before modern advancements revolutionized various industries. Displayed in a private collection, this historical piece offers us glimpses into French culture and tradition. The unknown artist behind this engraving masterfully captures the dedication and passion of craftsmen like the gold beater. Stefano Bianchetti's photography beautifully preserves this moment from history for all to appreciate.
