EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the month of October in a Book of Hours dating back to 1540. Created by Flemish artist Simon Bening, this exquisite piece is made on vellum and now resides at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, UK. The image showcases an idyllic countryside landscape where ploughing and sowing activities are taking place. The manuscript's illumination technique adds a touch of ethereal beauty to the scene, transporting us back to the medieval era. It serves as a window into agricultural practices during that time, highlighting the importance of farming in sustaining communities. Intriguing details emerge upon closer inspection - a farmer expertly maneuvering his plough while hitched to an agricultural vehicle, perhaps pulled by horses or oxen. The coupling mechanism ensures efficient movement across the field as seeds are carefully sown for future harvests. The farmhouse nestled amidst rolling hills completes this picturesque tableau, evoking feelings of tranquility and harmony with nature. This artwork not only celebrates rural life but also pays homage to the craftsmanship involved in creating such intricate manuscripts. As we admire this historical gem captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, let us appreciate how art can transcend time and provide glimpses into our rich cultural heritage.
