EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing artwork of Ms 1044 fol. 101, a remarkable piece from the Ovide Moralise written by Chretien Legouais in the 14th century. The image depicts "The Strong Woman of the Scriptures Spinning with her Servants" beautifully capturing a scene from daily life during medieval times. Set against a backdrop of vibrant red hues, this gothic manuscript illustration transports us to an era long gone. The central figure, known as "The Strong Woman of Scripture" exudes power and grace as she skillfully spins wool on her loom. Surrounding her are her loyal handmaids, diligently assisting in the process. This composition is rich in symbolism and references Proverbs XXXI from scripture, emphasizing virtues such as strength, industriousness, and wisdom. It offers a glimpse into the domestic scene of that time period when spinning and weaving were essential tasks for creating clothing. The attention to detail is exquisite; every stroke on this vellum masterpiece tells a story. From carding wool to filer threads meticulously, each element contributes to the overall narrative captured within this single frame. Preserved within Bibliotheque Municipale in Rouen, France, this artwork serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical significance. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers today while offering insight into medieval life through its portrayal of strong women and their indispensable role in society's fabric.
