EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the medieval era, offering a glimpse into the daily life of hardworking peasants. The image depicts a scene of agricultural labor, with men and women diligently cultivating grain in a rustic village setting. Their weathered faces and worn clothing bear witness to their arduous existence. In the foreground, we see farmers tending to their crops using traditional ploughs, while others engage in the meticulous process of manufacturing barley and oat bread. A sense of community is evident as both men and women contribute equally to these essential tasks. The composition exudes an aura of simplicity and authenticity, showcasing the humble dwellings that dot the landscape. Amidst this backdrop, a female figure can be seen cooking bread inside an oven housed within one such hut. This intimate detail adds depth to our understanding of rural life during this period. The artist's skillful use of lithography brings out intricate details from an original woodcut found in an edition of Virgil published in Lyons in 1517. Through this reproduction created by French School artists during the 19th century, we are granted access to a historical moment frozen in time. As we gaze upon this poignant snapshot from centuries past, it serves as a reminder not only of human resilience but also highlights the stark realities faced by those living on society's fringes – poverty being ever-present amidst their daily struggles for survival.
