This 1830 Locarno engraving titled "Milanese Metier: a seller of biscuits and cakes" transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Milan. The Italian School artist skillfully captures the essence of this vibrant city, showcasing a hardworking craftsman immersed in his trade. In this scene, we see a merchant adorned in traditional attire, proudly displaying his delectable assortment of biscuits and cakes. His tiered basket brims with mouthwatering treats that tempt passersby. With intricate details meticulously etched into the engraving, we can almost smell the aroma wafting from his pastry shop. The image evokes nostalgia for an era when street trades were commonplace and personal connections were forged between merchants and customers. It reminds us of simpler times when craftsmanship was valued above all else. Giancarlo Costa's expertise shines through as he masterfully brings this slice of history to life on paper. The composition is filled with movement - from the fluttering kite overhead to the busy market stalls lining the street behind our protagonist. This print serves as a testament to human labor and ingenuity, highlighting not only the artistry involved in baking but also celebrating everyday people who dedicated their lives to their chosen metier.
