EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "November, 1628-29" was created by the talented artist Wenceslaus Hollar during the 17th century. The image showcases a scene that beautifully captures rural life in Bohemia. In this etching, Hollar skillfully depicts a countryside village with its quaint houses and buildings. The landscape is adorned with farm animals, particularly focusing on a group of pigs. However, what makes this artwork intriguing is the presence of people engaged in an unusual activity - slaughtering one of the hogs. The composition also incorporates elements of astrology and astronomy as Sagittarius, represented by a constellation above, symbolizes November's zodiac sign. This celestial connection adds depth to the concept portrayed within the image. Hollar's attention to detail is evident throughout his work; every stroke conveys realism while maintaining artistic finesse. The use of black and white enhances the overall mood and atmosphere, evoking a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. Displayed at The Met museum as part of their heritage art collection, this piece offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon historical practices such as butchering in rural communities during that era. It serves as a reminder not only of our agricultural roots but also highlights how different aspects like law and crime were perceived back then. Wenceslaus Hollar's masterful craftsmanship transports us to another time through this thought-provoking snapshot frozen forever on paper.
