EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from "The Book of Simple Medicines" by Matteaus Platearius, dating back to the 15th century. The illuminated manuscript, beautifully illustrated by Robinet Testard, features four medicinal plants in vibrant detail. In the top row, we are introduced to Lolni and Geranium, while the bottom row presents Daphnoides and Parsley. Each plant depicted holds significant curative properties that were highly valued during medieval times. This exquisite artwork served as a valuable resource for medical practitioners seeking natural remedies for various ailments. The intricate details captured on vellum transport us back in time to an era where herbal medicine played a crucial role in maintaining health and well-being. The colors used by Testard bring life to these botanical wonders, emphasizing their importance within traditional healing practices. Originally created for Charles of Angouleme and Louise of Savoy, this particular version now resides at the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia. Its historical significance cannot be understated as it represents both artistic mastery and scientific knowledge from centuries ago. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry and history through Bridgeman Images' lens, let us appreciate the enduring power of nature's pharmacy that has been passed down through generations – reminding us of our deep connection with the natural world and its ability to heal.
