EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illuminated calendar page for September, taken from a Book of Hours dating back to the 16th century. Created by the talented Flemish School, this piece measures 19.2x13.3 cm and is currently housed at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, UK. The image depicts a scene of laborious grape gathering in a lush vineyard during the medieval era. A peasant labourer diligently collects ripe grapes while standing on a parchment backdrop adorned with intricate astrological symbols associated with Libra, the zodiac sign representing September. The artist's attention to detail is evident as they skillfully portray the delicate balance between nature and human effort. The scales of Libra symbolize fairness and harmony, highlighting how these qualities are essential in cultivating bountiful harvests. This mesmerizing artwork not only captures the essence of medieval life but also serves as a reminder of our connection to nature's cycles throughout history. It transports us back to an era when manual labor was integral to sustenance and survival. As we admire this stunning print, let us appreciate both the artistic mastery behind it and reflect upon our own roles within nature's grand tapestry.
