EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time, showcasing a woman drawing water from a well. The illustration is derived from the renowned work "De Machinis" by Mariano di Jacopo, also known as il Taccola, an Italian artist and engineer of the early Renaissance. Il Taccola's treatises on machines and engines were groundbreaking for their time. The scene depicted in this artwork exudes simplicity and tranquility. The woman gracefully operates the mechanism to retrieve water from the depths of the well using a jug attached to an ingenious contraption. Her focused expression reflects her mastery over this innovative machine, designed with meticulous attention to detail. The use of pen and ink combined with delicate watercolors brings life to every stroke and contour, enhancing both the realism and artistic quality of this piece. It is evident that il Taccola possessed not only technical expertise but also artistic flair. Preserved within the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Venice, Italy, this 15th-century copy serves as a testament to il Taccola's enduring legacy. Through his manuscripts, he continues to inspire generations with his wide range of inventive creations. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time - witnessing both the beauty of artistry and innovation intertwined seamlessly together.
