EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Fissores Plow from Tortona and the Plow from Parma, both dating back to 1861. Created by Pietro Semplicini, a renowned Italian photographer of the 19th century, this albumen silver print captures the essence of agriculture during that time. Displayed in an exhibition hall at the Esposizione Italiana, these plows represent a significant part of Italy's heritage art. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has preserved this remarkable piece as part of their photography collection. The image transports us to a bygone era when farming was at the heart of rural life. The intricate details captured in this photograph highlight Semplicini's skill in capturing not only objects but also emotions associated with them. As we gaze upon these plows, we can almost hear the sounds of horses pulling them through fields and feel the hard work and dedication required for agricultural labor. This photograph serves as a reminder of our connection to nature and how it shaped societies throughout history. Pietro Semplicini's ability to capture such timeless moments is evident in this stunning black and white composition. It invites us to appreciate not only his artistic talent but also reflects on our own roots and appreciation for those who came before us.
