The Butcher, the Baker, the Painter

It is the working man who is the happy man. (Benjamin Franklin)

I grew up on a street with a strange, archaic name: it seemed to indicate a profession, or a job at the feudal court. I imagined this man as wearing many layers of sumptuous clothes and carrying lots of keys.

I asked a teacher, but he was not sure of the exact role, no more precise than referring to a position at court, held by a minor aristocrat, sometime before the 18th century.

There were no pictures to show me what these officials wore, or the tools of their trade.I wondered why painters didn’t paint this official, in his normal attire, in his working environment, to satisfy our curiosity.
Looking through the work of artists of that time, one wonders if there was more to painting than landscapes and self-portraits. Painters prefer self-portraits, because the model is easily available and cheap – and possibly because a shade of narcissism is not unusual in an artist.
Van Gogh painted over 30 self-portraits in three years; before the invention of photography, most painters took care to provide posterity with a record of their features.
The painter at work in his studio is a familiar enough theme. I was curious to see them paint other people in their work environment. Here are some examples.

Adriana is an art consumer, critic and collector. Curious about talent and torment, she likes to explore the artists’ motivation and analyse the creative process.
