EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a scene from the month of November. Jean Colombe's exquisite vellum artwork titled "Facsimile of November: feeding acorns to the pigs" comes alive with its intricate details and rich colors. The image depicts a serene woodland setting, where a group of pigs eagerly gather around as someone feeds them acorns. The autumnal atmosphere is palpable, with fallen leaves carpeting the ground and trees adorned with golden hues. It is as if nature itself has paused to witness this humble act of nourishment. As we delve deeper into the composition, we notice subtle references to astrology and mythology. The zodiac sign Scorpio can be seen prominently displayed on a banner above the scene, reminding us that this moment takes place during this enigmatic season. Furthermore, Sagittarius appears nearby, symbolizing adventure and exploration. The presence of Apollo suggests an association with light and enlightenment while also hinting at his role as the god of agriculture. This connection reinforces the theme of foraging present in the image - both by humans providing sustenance for animals and by animals themselves searching for food in their natural habitat. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured every nuance within Colombe's work through their expert printing techniques. As we gaze upon this stunning print, it serves as a reminder not only of our deep connection to nature but also how art can transport us across centuries into different worlds altogether.
