1568 Amman Attorney Calligraphy Client Coat Contrast Germany Jost Legal Poor Typeface Wealthy
EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print titled "LAWYER, 1568" by Jost Amman takes us back to the Renaissance era in Germany. The image portrays a mid-16th century attorney, showcasing the stark contrast between the wealthy and poor during that time. The lawyer is depicted as a distinguished figure, donning an elegant coat and hat, which were symbols of status and wealth. His well-groomed beard adds to his authoritative presence. With meticulous attention to detail, Amman captures every line and curve of the lawyer's face with precision. In this scene, we witness a client seeking legal advice from the learned professional. The client's humble appearance stands in stark contrast to that of the lawyer; he represents the less fortunate members of society who relied on legal expertise for guidance. Amman's use of calligraphy further enhances this woodcut masterpiece. The intricate typeface surrounding the figures adds depth and authenticity to their portrayal. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness not only an interaction between two individuals but also gain insight into social dynamics prevalent during this period in history. "LAWYER, 1568" serves as a testament to Jost Amman's skill as an artist and provides us with a glimpse into German renaissance society through its depiction of contrasting social classes within the legal profession.
