EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mirror maker" by Jost Amman takes us back to the 16th century in Germany, offering a glimpse into the world of trades and craftsmanship during that time. The image is part of a collection of woodcuts called "Das Standebuch" which translates to "The Book of Trades". Amman, a renowned engraver and artist, skillfully captures the essence of a mirror maker at work. The intricate details in this engraving showcase the dedication and precision required for such an art form. We see the mirror maker meticulously shaping and polishing glass, creating mirrors that would reflect not only physical appearances but also societal aspirations. Accompanying this remarkable artwork is a rhyme written by Hans Sachs, adding another layer of depth to this historical piece. Sachs was known for his poetic talent and his ability to capture everyday life through verse. The colorization technique used on this illustration brings it to life even more vividly, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and its significance as a representation of social history. It serves as a reminder that craftsmen like mirror makers played an essential role in society's development during those times. As we admire this image from Fine Art Finder's collection curated by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back centuries ago when skilled artisans were revered for their expertise. This print invites us to appreciate not only the beauty captured within its frame but also the rich cultural heritage it represents – one where creativity thrived amidst daily routines and where artistry was celebrated as an integral part of human existence.
