Peasants Dancing in Fields, Austria, 1822
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating handcoloured copperplate engraving that depicts a lively scene of men and women engaged in a traditional dance in the heart of an Austrian field. The image, taken from Alexandre de Labordes' "Voyage pittoresque en Autriche," published in 1822, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of rural Austria during that era. The engraving, created by Migliavacca for Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1844, showcases the authenticity and charm of the Austrian peasant life. The men, dressed in simple tunics and trousers, hold hands with their wives, who wear long skirts and aprons. A woodcutter, identified by his axe, joins in the dance, while a woman breastfeeds her child, highlighting the close-knit family bonds that were an integral part of rural Austrian society. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of a fiddler and a recorder player, providing the music that drives the rhythm of the dance. The dancers' joyous expressions and the vibrant colors of their costumes add to the overall charm of the image. This historical illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the daily lives, traditions, and fashion of the Austrian peasantry during the early 19th century. The image is a beautiful representation of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
