EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled 'Pastori Germani' or 'Germanic Shepherds,' is an exquisite illustration from Giulio Ferrario's 'Il Costume Antico e Moderno' published in Florence in 1837. The image, created by the skilled engraver Nasi, offers a fascinating glimpse into the ancient Germanic way of life, showcasing both shepherds and hunters. In the foreground, a group of naked shepherds tend to their flock. They wear only short woolen capes, their long hair flowing freely, some adorned with topknots. Their connection to their animals is palpable, as they work in harmony with their sheep. In the background, hunters clad in leather capes and socks are seen preparing for a hunt. Armed with spears, they are focused and determined. The hunter on the left wears his hair in a topknot, a common style among Germanic warriors. The hunters' skins and furs add to their rugged appearance, reflecting their close relationship with nature. A hare lies at the hunters' feet, a testament to their successful hunt. The shepherd's dog, a forerunner of the German Shepherd breed, sits attentively nearby. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this engraving transport us back to a time when people lived in harmony with nature, relying on their skills as shepherds and hunters to survive. This historical illustration is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable record of ancient Germanic culture and fashion.
