EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning miniature from an ancient manuscript titled "Commentary on Political and Economic Ethics" by the renowned Greek philosopher Aristotle. Translated by Nicolas Oresme, this masterpiece was created in 1455 in Rouen, France. The intricate artwork depicts the theory of theological and cardinal virtues, beautifully illustrated by an unknown artist from the 15th century. The scene unfolds with a young girl seated in a boat, symbolizing life's journey. Surrounding her are various allegorical elements such as a cage representing restraint, a windmill signifying industry, and a bird symbolizing freedom. Intriguingly, we also witness powerful symbols of justice and love embodied through an arm holding scales and two figures embracing each other tenderly. A church stands tall in the background as a representation of religion's influence on society. The composition is brought to life with vibrant colors and meticulous details that transport us back to the Middle Ages. This remarkable piece serves as both an artistic marvel and historical artifact that sheds light on medieval beliefs about virtue and ethics. Preserved within the Municipal Library of Rouen, France, this photograph captures not only the beauty of this timeless work but also its significance in understanding our past. It invites us to delve into centuries-old philosophical ideas while appreciating the skillful craftsmanship of artists who have long since passed away but whose legacy lives on through their creations.
