EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beautiful artwork of Simon Bening, a Flemish artist from the 16th century. Titled "Add 18855 September: harvesting, ploughing and sowing" this image is taken from a Book of Hours dating back to around 1540. In this scene, we are transported to a medieval countryside where life revolves around agriculture. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the activities that define September in rural communities. A farmer can be seen using his scythe to reap sheafs of corn while others engage in ploughing and sowing seeds for future harvests. The idyllic farmhouse nestled by a canal adds charm to the setting, evoking images of peaceful picnics amidst nature's bounty. This manuscript illumination not only captures the essence of farming but also highlights the importance it held in society during that era. As we admire this piece, we are reminded of how our ancestors relied on their hard work and dedication to sustain themselves through each season. It serves as a testament to their resilience and resourcefulness. Displayed at Victoria & Albert Museum in London, UK, this photograph print allows us to appreciate Bening's talent while celebrating the rich history behind agricultural practices. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past as they remind us of our roots and inspire gratitude for modern advancements in farming techniques.
