EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in pork production during the 14th century. The unknown artist skillfully depicts the process of slaughtering a pig and butchering it into various pieces. Illuminated by the milking of medicine and dietetics, this artwork from the "Tacuinum sanitatis" showcases the meticulousness involved in this craft. The image portrays an abattoir scene where craftsmen, covered in dirt, work diligently to ensure hygiene and animal health standards are met. The atmosphere is filled with an air of care as each butcher carefully cuts through the meat, showcasing their expertise in this ancient trade. Intriguingly set against a backdrop of agriculture and breeding practices common during that era, this piece offers us a glimpse into middle age food culture. It reminds us of how important meat was for sustenance and nourishment during those times. Giancarlo Costa's masterful capture brings attention to not only the artistry behind pork production but also its significance within society's dietary needs. This historical documentation serves as a reminder of our connection to traditional methods while highlighting advancements made over time. As we admire this remarkable artwork today, let us appreciate both its artistic value and its ability to transport us back centuries ago when craftsmanship played an integral role in providing essential sustenance for communities.
