EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "ASPARAGUS, 14th CENTURY. Picking asparagus" takes us back to the late 14th century in Northern Italy. The image is a manuscript illumination from Tacuinum sanitatis in medicina, showcasing the rich botanical knowledge of that time. In this scene, we see a couple kneeling on the ground, carefully gathering and picking asparagus. The woman delicately holds a basket while her companion plucks the vibrant green vegetable from its roots. Their attire reflects their medieval origins, transporting us to an era long gone. The attention to detail in this artwork highlights not only the beauty of nature but also the importance of food during the Middle Ages. Asparagus was highly valued for its taste and medicinal properties, making it a sought-after vegetable among both commoners and nobility. Displayed within Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, this piece offers a glimpse into Italian botany and biology during that period. Its inclusion in Tacuinum sanitatis in medicina signifies its significance as an educational tool for understanding various plants' uses. As we admire this exquisite manuscript illumination, let us appreciate how our ancestors cherished nature's gifts and recognized their value even centuries ago.
