EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 16th century, capturing the essence of an armourer at work. Created in 1849 by Jost Amman, this wood engraving is a remarkable rendition of the original artwork from that era. The image showcases a man fully immersed in his craft, hammering away with precision and skill. Intriguingly dressed in attire typical of the time period, complete with a helmet for protection, this armourer epitomizes dedication to his trade. His workshop serves as a backdrop to his industriousness, filled with tools and materials necessary for metalworking. Every strike of the hammer resonates with purpose as he meticulously shapes pieces of armor. This print transports us into an era where craftsmanship was highly valued and warfare played a significant role. It reminds us of the importance placed on skilled labor during times when personal protection was paramount. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and character to this piece, emphasizing its historical significance. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of the profession itself but also of the broader concept it represents - one that encompasses determination, expertise, and resilience. Preserved through time by The Print Collector's collection curated by A Rivaud in collaboration with Paul Lacroix and Ferdinand Sere; this artwork stands as a testament to human ingenuity throughout different centuries.
