The day is long, but work gives him a rare kind of satisfaction that so many others couldn’t fathom. In The Farmer, we peak into his world, where, at the end of the day, he has earned his right to rest, and in the morning, the chickens and cows will be waiting. In a single image, this reprint shows us what life was like centuries ago for those who were tied to the land.
The Farmer is a single part of Jan Luyken’s sprawling masterwork, The Mirror of Human Activities (Spiegel van het Menselyk Bedryf). Here, the engraving has been reproduced in all its splendor as a limited edition print for you to display proudly in your home or office. In painstakingly recreating this vision from the Golden Age of Dutch fine art, we used only the finest materials and historically accurate techniques.
“The farmer works from morning to late at night
Provides us with daily food to our delight.”
Our fine art etchings use exclusive handmade paper crafted using techniques dating back to the 14th Century, passed down through generations by Indian artisans. Dried in the sun, this paper is a timeless, creative alternative to ordinary paper.
