EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illuminated calendar page for the month of October, taken from a Book of Hours dating back to the 16th century. Created by the Flemish School, this masterpiece titled "Ploughing with Two Horses" transports us to the enchanting world of medieval agriculture. The image depicts a hardworking farmer diligently ploughing his field using two majestic horses as his trusted companions. The furrowed soil behind them signifies their progress and dedication towards preparing the land for cultivation. As we delve deeper into this scene, we notice that it also represents the astrological sign Scorpio, symbolizing transformation and regeneration during this time of year. Intricately detailed farm equipment and mechanisms are beautifully illustrated in this artwork, showcasing the ingenuity and resourcefulness of farmers during that era. The coupling between man and beast is evident through their synchronized movements, highlighting their harmonious partnership in tilling the earth. This mesmerizing piece not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into rural life during the Middle Ages. It serves as a reminder of our deep-rooted connection with nature and how essential farming has been throughout history. Displayed at Fitzwilliam Museum within Cambridge University's campus in England, this stunning print allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
