EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of the Limbourg brothers, titled "Facsimile of October: sowing the winter grain". Taken from their renowned manuscript, Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, this vellum masterpiece is housed in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. The image transports us to a medieval countryside setting, where a countryman diligently tends to his fields during the month of October. The scene unfolds against a backdrop of an enchanting castle and its protective moat. The sun shines brightly overhead as birds flutter about, including a curious magpie observing from above. Intriguing zodiac symbols are subtly incorporated into this picturesque landscape. A scarecrow stands tall amidst golden wheat fields representing Libra while an archer takes aim at his target symbolizing Scorpio. Scales hang delicately nearby signifying balance and justice. Everyday life in this era comes alive through intricate details such as ploughing techniques and meticulous sowing methods employed by our dedicated farmer. This miniature artwork beautifully captures the essence of agriculture during the 15th century. As we admire this facsimile print, we are transported back in time to witness not only artistic brilliance but also gain insight into rural life centuries ago. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance that has shaped our world today.
