EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite illustration of "Nova 2644 fol. 69r Turtle Doves" from the Tacuinum Santiatis Codex Vindobonensis, created by the Italian School in the 14th century. Housed at the Osterreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna, Austria, this vellum manuscript is a true testament to medieval artistry. The image depicts a scene where a dove catcher carefully sets up his net amidst lush foliage and towering trees. With scientific precision and knowledge of botany, he strategically places seeds to attract these beautiful turtle doves. This illustration not only highlights the hunter's expertise but also reflects an early understanding of natural history and scientific methods. The delicate details captured on vellum bring life to these graceful birds as they perch on branches nearby. The composition evokes a sense of tranquility while showcasing several animals that coexist harmoniously within this ecosystem. As we admire this artwork, we are transported back in time to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with wildlife throughout centuries and how humans have sought to understand and interact with nature. Bridgeman Images has masterfully preserved this remarkable piece through their fine art finder collection, allowing us to marvel at its intricacies for generations to come.
