EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of 19th-century agricultural work. Titled "Mower, 1853, after drawing made in 1852" this piece was created by Jacques-Adrien Lavieille, a renowned French artist. The image showcases a farmhand engaged in the laborious task of mowing with a scythe. The man depicted stands tall, his back turned towards us as he diligently works amidst the bountiful harvest. His silhouette against the vast European countryside evokes a sense of solitude and dedication to his profession. Lavieille's wood engraving technique adds depth and texture to this portrait. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, this artwork is part of their collection that celebrates heritage art from around the world. It pays homage to Jean-François Millet, another prominent French painter known for depicting rural life during this era. Through this print, we are transported back in time to witness an essential aspect of farming history - manual labor on the fields. This piece serves as a reminder of our connection to nature and highlights the resilience and hard work required for sustenance. With its intricate details and powerful composition, "Mower" invites viewers to appreciate both artistic skill and historical significance. It encapsulates not only an occupation but also represents an entire way of life that has shaped our understanding of agriculture today.
