About the Item
Title: Pastoral Scene with Cattle and Figures
Engraved by Johann Jakob Kleinschmidt (1687–1772)
Designer: Initials "A.V." (specific identity unknown)
Date: Circa 1720–1750
Medium: Engraving on laid paper
Description: This finely detailed engraving depicts a tranquil pastoral landscape. In the foreground, several cattle rest and graze near a group of figures engaged in conversation. The background features lush trees and a distant architectural structure, possibly a farmhouse or chapel, contributing to the serene rural setting. The composition reflects the 18th-century European appreciation for pastoral themes, emphasizing the harmony between humans and nature.
Inscriptions:
- Latin Text:
> *Indige his laudatque boum expers at alter,
Tacet, quis? Tacit sapientes animi, sapit.
Desinit fatuus clamor, desipit hinc ruditas.
Detracte hunc labem demat urbica gravitas.*
- German Text:
> *Schlag ein, misch mich den Kauf, du weist, man ist gleich Schweige.
Es berüchtigt das Volk ein Pfiff, um Lachs, und Sage.
Der Narrent hie noch wie gut ein Languus Sieche.
So bleib dem meisten Hof, Schockey Sitten sind Genüge.*
Interpretation: The inscriptions juxtapose Latin and German texts, offering moral reflections on wisdom, silence, and societal behavior. The Latin verses suggest that wise individuals remain silent, avoiding foolish clamor, while urban gravity removes blemishes. The German text appears to critique deceit in trade and advocates for proper conduct, possibly contrasting rural simplicity with urban sophistication.
Condition: Well-preserved 18th-century engraving by Johann Jakob Kleinschmidt with minor foxing, intact margins, and clear text; ideal for display or collection. Some soiling due to age and handling over the last 300 years.
About Johann Jakob Kleinschmidt:
Johann Jakob Kleinschmidt (1687–1772) was a German engraver and etcher active in Augsburg during the 18th century. He is known for his detailed engravings, often reproducing works by other artists, notably Georg Philipp Rugendas I. Kleinschmidt also published his own prints, contributing to the rich tapestry of Augsburg's printmaking tradition. His works are characterized by meticulous line work and a keen eye for detail, capturing both the dynamism of battle scenes and the tranquility of pastoral landscapes. Several of his engravings are housed in prominent collections, including the British Museum and the National Portrait Gallery .
