EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th-century miniature print, titled "Calendar, June, a peasant mowing and the sign of cancer" transports us back in time to witness a scene of rural life. Created by the talented Flemish School, this artwork is part of a book of hours manuscript housed in the Archivio della Badia della Ss. TrinitA in Cava dei Tirreni, Italy. In this exquisite depiction of June, we see a hardworking peasant laboring in the fields with his sickle. The lush greenery surrounding him signifies the peak of summer and abundance. Above him hangs the astrological symbol for Cancer - one of the twelve signs of the zodiac - representing those born between June 21st and July 22nd. The artist's attention to detail is evident as they skillfully capture both human activity and celestial symbolism within this small-scale illumination. This piece serves not only as an artistic marvel but also provides insight into agricultural practices during that era. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this historical gem through her lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, let us appreciate both its aesthetic value and its significance in understanding our past – a testament to humanity's connection with nature and our eternal fascination with astrology.
