EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from "The Book of Simple Medicines" by Mattheaus Platearius, dating back to the 15th century. The image, captured on vellum and measuring 26x35.5 cm, is a remarkable piece created by Robinet Testard (fl. 1470-1523). In this particular page, labeled as Ms Fr. Fv VI #1 f. 132v, we are presented with a fascinating composition divided into two rows. The top row features the delicate beauty of Filipendula flowers, their intricate petals gracefully depicted in vibrant colors that seem to come alive on the page. Moving our gaze downward to the bottom row, we encounter two intriguing subjects: Fistularia and Faseolus plants. Their detailed portrayal reveals an impressive level of botanical accuracy for its time period. Originally commissioned for Charles of Angouleme and Louise of Savoy, this medieval illuminated manuscript serves as a valuable resource in understanding ancient medical practices and herbal remedies from the 12th century. Displayed at the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia, this artwork not only captures our attention but also offers insights into curative properties found within nature's bounty - tormentilla being one such example. Through Bridgeman Images' lens and Fine Art Finder's collection, we can appreciate both the historical significance and artistic brilliance encapsulated within this mesmerizing piece without any mention of commercial use or affiliation with any company
