EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Dream" a mesmerizing miniature from the illuminated manuscript Tacuinum sanitatis, dating back to the late 14th century. The artwork is a testament to the rich history and architectural marvels of Austria's Bundesland Wien region. In this enchanting scene, we are transported to a medieval bedroom adorned with vibrant colors and intricate details. A double window allows soft light to filter through, illuminating the room and casting shadows on the bed where our protagonist lies in slumber. As we delve into this dreamlike realm, we witness a musician playing a mandolin at the foot of the bed. The soothing melodies fill the air, transporting us further into an ethereal state of tranquility. The manuscript itself holds great significance as it explores medicinal properties and health practices of its time. Written in Latin, it serves as an invaluable historical artifact that sheds light on medieval medicine and its understanding of well-being. Preserved within Vienna's Österreichische Nationalbibliothek (Austrian National Library), this remarkable piece remains shrouded in mystery as its creator remains unknown. Nonetheless, its vertical composition captivates viewers with its exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail. This print offers us not only a glimpse into medieval life but also invites contemplation about dreams, music's healing power, and our timeless pursuit for good health – themes that continue to resonate today.
