This black and white woodcut print, titled "Building, c. 1520" offers a glimpse into German everyday life during the early 16th century. Created by Heinrich Steiner and featured in the Gluckbuch of 1532, this artwork showcases the construction scene of that era. The image depicts a bustling construction site with laborers diligently working on scaffolding to erect a grand building. The skilled workers can be seen meticulously laying bricks while others are engaged in various tasks like slashing or carrying materials. The pillars being erected give an indication of the architectural style prevalent at that time. Steiner's woodcut technique beautifully captures the intricate details of this historical moment, providing us with valuable insights into early modern German society.
