The Poultry-dealer - A Glimpse into Medieval Food and Customs
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The Poultry-dealer" an engraving from the 19th century French School. The image, part of a private collection, offers a fascinating insight into the food, customs, and dress during the Middle Ages. Created as a facsimile of an engraving on wood by Cesare Vecellio, this illustration was featured in Paul Lacroix's renowned book "Manners, Customs, and Dress during the Middle Ages". The digitally cleaned image beautifully captures the intricate details of this Renaissance-era artwork. In this scene set in Italy, we witness an Italian poultry dealer surrounded by various farm animals. With his wooden cart filled with fowls and birds for sale, he represents a crucial link between rural life and urban markets. The abundance of timber in the background reminds us that firewood played a vital role not only for warmth but also for cooking meals. This engraving transports us back to an era when food supply relied heavily on local produce. It highlights how Italians valued their culinary traditions while emphasizing their connection to nature through livestock farming. As we admire this exquisite piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let it serve as a reminder of our rich European heritage and appreciation for wildlife animals that have long been intertwined with our daily lives.
