EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image is a reproduction of a miniature painting from the ninth-century Carolingian manuscript of Rabanus Maurus' "De Universo" (On the Universe), housed in the Archive of Monte Cassino Abbey in Italy. Rabanus Maurus (c. 780-856), a Benedictine monk and scholar, wrote this encyclopedic work as a comprehensive guide to the natural sciences, theology, and philosophy. The original manuscript, created during the Romanesque period, showcases the intricate and detailed illustrations that were characteristic of this artistic style. In this particular miniature, we see the depiction of Roman thermae, or public baths. The image captures the grandeur and opulence of the ancient Roman bathing culture, with figures of various sizes and shapes engaging in different activities. The rich colors and intricate details of the painting are evident, from the ornate decorations on the walls to the delicate folds of the bathers' robes. The Romanesque art movement emerged in Europe during the 10th and 11th centuries, characterized by its emphasis on realism, emotion, and the use of bold colors and strong lines. This style was heavily influenced by the art of the Byzantine Empire and the classical Roman tradition. The manuscript of Rabanus Maurus' "De Universo" is an excellent example of the Romanesque artistic style, showcasing the beauty and intricacy of the period's art and the depth of knowledge and scholarship of the time.
