EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the month of June through a series of exquisite miniatures from Livro de Horas de Dom Manuel. Created by Antonio de Hollanda, or attributed to him, this masterpiece dates back to 1517-38 and is currently housed in the National Museum of Ancient Art in Lisbon, Portugal. The intricate details depicted in these tempera on vellum paintings transport us to a time when farming and agriculture were at their peak during the summer months. The scenes showcase laborers diligently tending to crops, harvesting bountiful sheaves, and sowing seeds after the harvest. It beautifully portrays daily life activities that sustained communities during this period. One particularly enchanting miniature features a majestic castle surrounded by a moat adorned with graceful swans. This image adds an element of grandeur and elegance amidst the agricultural setting. Livro de Horas de Dom Manuel not only serves as an artistic treasure but also provides valuable insights into King Manuel I's reign (1469-1521) and his passion for documenting everyday life. The Netherlandish influence evident in these miniatures further enhances their historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness the dedication and hard work put forth by farmers during June—the month when nature's bounty flourishes under warm summer skies.
