When someone imagines a baker, they probably think of a round and jovial fellow who makes some of the tastiest creations in the world. All of the sweetest, gooiest and, moistest goodies that one can imagine. Which definitely makes their happy nature seem perfectly appropriate. After all, how can someone be unhappy while eating a cupcake? They can't. And even more appropriately, the art for bakers that depicts these fellows are very accurate in their renderings.
In the earliest days of civilization, semi-nomadic people attempted to bake with not so great results. They took some wild grains, mixed them with water and mashed them together. They then laid the resulting paste on a hot flat rock. The result was a bread-like substance, which one could guess was probably not very tasty. Thankfully, this is not how it is done anymore.
The artwork for bakers that you can find depicts only the tasty and fluffy bread that we know and love. Like a warm French baguette or fresh loaf of Italian style bread the perfectly complements a bowl of spaghetti.
The framed art about baking is typically reflective of the jovial nature of bakers but this is not necessarily true. Some the artwork just takes us back to the days of local bakeries and pastry shops. The ones that made their items fresh everyday. The one you could ride your bike up to when you were a kid and get a fresh muffin that you knew was baked with love.
