EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "November: feeding pigs, and Sagittarius, c1423" takes us back to the 15th century. The image is an illustration from the Bedford Hours, a renowned manuscript now housed in the esteemed British Library. It depicts a scene of rural life during autumn, where a male peasant can be seen feeding pigs under an ancient oak tree. The connection between this rustic setting and Sagittarius, one of the zodiac signs associated with November, adds an intriguing astrological element to the composition. In mythology, Sagittarius is represented by a centaur archer aiming his bow and arrow towards distant targets. This mythical creature symbolizes strength and determination. The presence of nuts and acorns scattered on the ground hints at both poverty and nature's bounty during this season. The man's humble attire suggests he belongs to the lower class of medieval society - a hardworking peasant making ends meet through farming. Through this artwork, we are transported to another time when people relied heavily on agriculture for their livelihoods. It serves as a reminder of our deep connection with nature and how seasons shape our lives even today. With its vibrant colors and meticulous details characteristic of art from that era, this print offers us not only historical insight but also sparks our imagination about life in the Middle Ages.
