EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ms 438 The Month of November: Gathering Acorns, from a Book of Hours, 1490" takes us back to the enchanting world of medieval France. Crafted on vellum by an anonymous French School artist in the 15th century, this image is part of a larger collection housed in the Bibliotheque de L'Arsenal in Paris. The scene depicts the month of November, where peasants are seen diligently gathering acorns under a majestic oak tree. With winter approaching and food becoming scarce, these acorns were not only used as sustenance for humans but also served as feed for their livestock. In the background, pigs and wild boars roam freely through the picturesque countryside. This manuscript illustration beautifully captures both the practicality and tranquility associated with rural life during this era. The attention to detail showcases the artist's skillful handiwork while providing us with a glimpse into daily activities that were essential for survival. As we admire this Renaissance masterpiece, let us appreciate its historical significance and artistic value. It serves as a reminder of our connection to nature and how our ancestors relied on its bounties for their livelihoods. Through this image, we can transport ourselves back in time and immerse ourselves in an era long gone yet forever preserved within these delicate pages.
