EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of windmills. The Tower mill, dating back to 1620, stands tall and proud against the backdrop of a serene countryside. Its intricate design is showcased in this sectional view, revealing its inner workings. In the heart of the mill, we witness an essential process: grain being fed into millstones positioned at its center. This image captures the essence of an occupation that has stood the test of time - milling flour. The skilled miller diligently turns the cap of the windmill round so that its sails face directly into the wind, harnessing nature's power to grind grains into fine flour. The architectural beauty of this tower mill is highlighted by Agostino Ramelli's meticulous engraving technique. Every detail is carefully etched onto paper, allowing us to appreciate both form and function. This print from Ramelli's renowned work "Le diverse et artifiiciose machine" transports us back in time as we marvel at his depiction of this magnificent structure. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, it serves as a reminder not only of our rich history but also of humanity's ingenuity in utilizing natural resources for sustenance and progress. It encapsulates centuries-old craftsmanship and pays homage to those who dedicated their lives to such noble professions like milling - forever immortalized within these lines on paper.
