Painting Description
The "South Matadero public Butchery engraved by Maile and Sutherland, 1820" is an evocative and historically significant work by the British artist Emeric Essex Vidal. Vidal, who was an accomplished watercolorist and illustrator, is renowned for his vivid depictions of early 19th-century life in South America, particularly in the region that is now Argentina. This particular engraving, executed by the skilled engravers Maile and Sutherland, captures a bustling scene at a public butchery, or "matadero," in the southern part of Buenos Aires.
The artwork provides a rare and valuable visual record of the practices and daily life in Buenos Aires during the early 1820s. It portrays the matadero as a hub of activity, with workers engaged in the butchering process, surrounded by the tools of their trade and the animals that were central to the local economy. The detailed rendering of the figures and their environment offers insights into the clothing, tools, and techniques used in the butchery trade at the time.
Vidal's work is notable for its ethnographic precision and artistic quality. His keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the essence of the scenes he observed make his illustrations an important resource for historians and art enthusiasts alike. The engraving by Maile and Sutherland further enhances the original watercolor by adding depth and texture, making the scene come alive for contemporary viewers.
This engraving is part of a larger body of work by Vidal that documents his travels and observations in South America. His illustrations were later compiled and published, providing a comprehensive visual account of the region during a period of significant social and economic change. The "South Matadero public Butchery" stands out as a testament to Vidal's skill as an artist and his dedication to documenting the world around him with accuracy and sensitivity.
