EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a beautifully illuminated manuscript page from the "Book of Hours of the Duchess of Burgundy, Adelaide of Savoy". The calendar page for the month of June focuses on "Agricultural work" providing us with a glimpse into the farming practices during that era. Created by Maitre d'Adelaide de Savoie around 1450, this masterpiece is now housed in Musee Conde in Chantilly, France. The intricate details depicted in this miniature painting transport us back to medieval times. A peasant can be seen diligently tending to his crops with a sickle in hand, symbolizing the importance of agriculture as a primary source of sustenance and livelihood. Nearby, geese gracefully swim across a serene lake while ducks frolic about. Marie Adelaide of Savoy (1686-1712), wife to Louis Duke of Burgundy, commissioned this exquisite artwork as part of her personal prayer book. The delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors used by the artist bring life to every element within this scene. As we admire this photograph captured by Photo Josse, we are reminded not only of the artistic brilliance behind such manuscripts but also gain insight into historical agricultural practices that shaped societies centuries ago. This image serves as an extraordinary testament to human creativity and our deep connection with nature's bountiful offerings.
