EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the tranquil scene of monks from the White Heeren Monastery of Middelburg, Netherlands, tending to their cattle on the windswept dunes during the 13th century. The Monks of the White Heeren, an order of Cistercian monks, were known for their self-sufficient lifestyle, which included raising livestock on the vast expanses of sandy dunes that surrounded their monastery. The photo print, an intriguing glimpse into the past, showcases the monks in their simple robes, leading their herd through the dunes, with the backdrop of the North Sea in the distance. The cattle, with their shaggy coats, appear to be well-adapted to the harsh conditions of the dunes, adding to the authenticity of the scene. The historical significance of this image lies in the fact that it provides a rare visual representation of the daily life of monks during the Middle Ages in the Netherlands. It also highlights the importance of agriculture and livestock farming in the region, which continues to be an integral part of the local economy and culture. The photo print, with its rich details and intriguing story, is a must-have for history enthusiasts, educators, and anyone interested in the history of the Netherlands. It is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the monks who lived in Middelburg during the 13th century and their ability to adapt to the challenging conditions of the dunes to sustain their community.
