EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating glimpse into the past, specifically the 14th century, with an illuminated manuscript titled "The benefits of wheat: a bread-based meal". Created by an unknown artist during that time period, this artwork is now housed in the Biblioteca Nazionale Braidense in Milan, Lombardy, Italy. The image depicts a scene from daily life during the Middle Ages. A skilled craftsman can be seen working diligently in his bakery, surrounded by various tools and ingredients. The focal point of the composition is undoubtedly a loaf of freshly baked bread, symbolizing sustenance and nourishment. Intriguingly, this illumination originates from Tacuinum sanitatis - a renowned medieval medical and dietary guide. It highlights not only the importance of wheat but also its numerous benefits when incorporated into meals. Wheat was considered essential for maintaining good health and providing energy to individuals during that era. Additionally, it's interesting to note elements such as red wine on display alongside bread. This suggests that even back then people enjoyed pairing their meals with beverages like wine for added enjoyment. Overall, this print offers us a unique opportunity to delve into history and appreciate how food played a vital role in people's lives centuries ago. It serves as a reminder that even today we continue to benefit from the nutritional value found in simple yet wholesome ingredients like wheat-based meals.
