EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art known as the Grimani Breviary: the month of January. Created by the Flemish School in the 16th century, this miniature can be found within the prestigious Marciana Library in Venice. The photograph itself was taken between 1920 and 1930. The artwork depicts a scene that transports us back to Renaissance Europe, specifically during the Renaissance-Baroque period. It beautifully captures elements of daily life from centuries ago, including various aspects of table settings and furnishings for civic spaces. The tablecloth is meticulously laid out for an extravagant banquet, adorned with exquisite kitchenwares and delicacies fit for nobility. Intriguingly, a dog stands beside the table, representing terrestrial mammals as part of this still-life representation. This male figure dressed in traditional clothing adds depth to our understanding of fashion and attire during that era. The Grimani Breviary's depiction of January serves as a reminder of how time was perceived by European society at that time. Each month held its own significance and symbolism which were often depicted through artistic representations like this one. Alinari Fratelli has masterfully captured this historic artwork through their lens, allowing viewers to appreciate its intricate details even today. This photograph not only preserves an important piece from history but also provides insight into the opulent lifestyle enjoyed by members of nobility during the Renaissance period.
