In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the 14th century, witnessing a scene of two women diligently picking sage. The image is taken from Tacuinum Sanitatis, a renowned medieval manuscript that focuses on health and well-being. The women's attire reflects the fashion of the era, with their flowing gowns and head coverings adding an air of elegance to their work. Their focused expressions reveal their dedication to gathering this precious herb known for its medicinal properties. The lush greenery surrounding them creates a serene backdrop, emphasizing the importance of nature in medieval life. Each leaf and stem is delicately rendered on vellum by an unknown Italian artist, showcasing their skillful craftsmanship. This image serves as a reminder of our deep-rooted connection with plants and herbs throughout history. It highlights the timeless practice of harnessing nature's gifts for healing purposes. Displayed proudly in Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this artwork invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance.
