EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Fol. 2v February: Peasant Life" offers a glimpse into the rustic charm of 16th-century Flemish countryside. Taken from the Breviarium Grimani, a renowned illuminated manuscript created in Ghent workshops, this vellum artwork showcases the talents of esteemed artists such as Gerard Horenbout and Alexander Bening. In this particular scene, we witness the tranquil beauty of February's peasant life. The setting is a picturesque farm enveloped in a blanket of snow. A humble barn stands proudly amidst the wintry landscape, while a majestic windmill adds to the idyllic atmosphere. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the family engaged in their daily activities. A hardworking farmer tends to his animals with care; his loyal donkey and sheep stand nearby as symbols of companionship and sustenance. In one corner, an adorable pig playfully sniffs around for food. Inside their cozy home, smoke gracefully rises from the chimney—a heartwarming sight that evokes feelings of warmth and comfort during cold winter days. Meanwhile, another member of this close-knit community can be seen spinning wool by a window—an essential task that contributes to both practicality and creativity within their household. Completing this charming tableau is a dovecoat nestled atop one side of their dwelling—a symbol not only representing peace but also highlighting how nature intertwines harmoniously with human existence. This remarkable print transports us back in time to appreciate simpler moments
