EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "MILLING GRAIN, 1568. The Miller" takes us back to the bustling world of medieval Germany. Created by Jost Amman in 1568, this artwork beautifully captures a scene from daily life during the Renaissance period. In the foreground, we see a hardworking miller pouring grain into a gristmill while his trusty donkey patiently waits nearby. The interior of the mill is depicted with meticulous detail - stacks of hay and sacks of grain fill the space, creating an atmosphere of productivity and industry. Amidst this busy setting, we catch a glimpse of mid-16th century German calligraphy on display. This adds an intriguing layer to the artwork as it highlights not only the physical labor involved in milling but also showcases elements of cultural heritage and craftsmanship. The woodcut technique used by Amman brings depth and texture to every stroke, emphasizing both the physicality and skill required for such work. It serves as a testament to the importance of manual labor in society at that time. "MILLING GRAIN" offers viewers a window into history – reminding us that behind every loaf of bread or bowl of porridge lies countless hours spent by dedicated workers like this miller. It is through art like this that we can appreciate their contributions to our daily lives and gain insight into past eras where technology was still evolving.
