EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 14th-century print titled "A man picks eggs from a partridge's nest" we are transported back in time to witness an intriguing scene. The unknown artist skillfully captures the essence of life during the Middle Ages, showcasing the delicate balance between food, knowledge, and human survival. The image depicts a peasant man carefully collecting eggs from a partridge's nest. His face is illuminated by the soft glow emanating from the milking of medicine and dietetics book called "Tacuinum sanitatis". This suggests that he is well-versed in ancient wisdom regarding health and hygiene practices. As we delve deeper into this artwork, it becomes apparent that there is more than meets the eye. The presence of a bandit lurking nearby adds an element of danger to this seemingly simple act of gathering eggs. It highlights how valuable resources like these were highly sought after even during those times. This print serves as a reminder of our ancestors' resourcefulness and their constant struggle for sustenance. It symbolizes both care for oneself through proper nutrition and also showcases humanity's eternal quest for knowledge in order to survive amidst challenging circumstances. Giancarlo Costa has masterfully captured this historical moment with his keen eye for detail, making us appreciate not only the artistry but also reflecting on our own modern-day relationship with food, health, and education.
