EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Meat Market, from the pair Meat Market and Vegetable Market, ca. 1575-1608" takes us back in time to a bustling street scene in the 16th century. The image, captured by Peeter van der Borcht, showcases a vibrant meat market with its array of customers and butchers going about their daily trade. In this snapshot of Netherlandish life, we see men and women dressed in traditional clothing as they navigate through the market stalls filled with cuts of meat. The butcher's shop is adorned with baskets overflowing with scraps while dogs roam freely amidst the activity. The attention to detail is remarkable - from the cleaver-wielding butchers chopping on wooden blocks to customers carefully selecting their desired cuts. The veiled women add an air of mystery to the scene, contrasting against the busy atmosphere. Peeter van der Borcht skillfully captures not only a moment frozen in time but also provides us with a glimpse into an occupation that has stood the test of centuries. This etching transports us back to an era where trade was conducted face-to-face and community thrived within these lively markets. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and how even mundane activities like shopping for food have evolved over time.
