EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from the Book of Simple Medicines, created by Mattheaus Platearius in the 15th century. The artwork, found on folio 138r, is brought to life by the talented Robinet Testard. Measuring at 26x35.5 cm, this vellum masterpiece can be admired at the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia. The image depicts a world of curative wonders and healing remedies that were highly valued during medieval times. A vibrant array of flowers and herbs fills the page, their delicate leaves carefully illuminated with intricate details. Amongst them stands a dandelion, symbolizing resilience and transformation. Adding to the enchantment are two creatures: a lizard gracefully perched upon a leaf and a ghekko crawling amidst the foliage. These reptiles represent nature's connection to medicine and its ability to heal through natural means. Intriguingly nestled within this herbal haven is also a ladybird - known for bringing good fortune - further emphasizing the positive properties associated with these medicinal plants. It is believed that this manuscript was possibly commissioned for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme; however, its true origins remain shrouded in mystery. Through this stunning photograph print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to appreciate not only the beauty but also the profound knowledge embedded within these ancient pages – reminding us once again of humanity's enduring quest for wellness and healing through nature
