EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 15th century, immersing us in the world of medieval agriculture. The image depicts a scene from the Tacuinum Sanitatis, a renowned manuscript originally written by Ibn Botlan, an Arab physician. In this particular folio, we witness farmers diligently harvesting asparagus with great care and precision. The Italian School's exquisite craftsmanship is evident in every detail of this vellum artwork. Each stroke of the brush brings to life the lush green fields where these delicate vegetables thrive. The farmer depicted here expertly wields his cutting tool, ensuring that only the freshest asparagus stalks are collected for consumption. A sense of tranquility permeates through this composition as we observe baskets brimming with freshly harvested crops. This timeless depiction reminds us of humanity's deep-rooted connection to nature and our reliance on farming practices for sustenance. Asparagus has long been cherished for its unique flavor and nutritional benefits, making it a prized vegetable throughout history. Through this image, we gain insight into how medieval societies cultivated their land and celebrated bountiful harvests. Bridgeman Images' exceptional reproduction allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind this piece but also its historical significance within agricultural traditions.
