EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 14th-century print, we are transported back in time to witness the daily life of a young woman tending to her hens and roosters in a humble yard. The illumination from the milking of medicine and dietetics "Tacuinum sanitatis" adds an ethereal glow to the scene, highlighting the importance of knowledge and health during that era. The unknown artist skillfully captures the essence of farm life, showcasing the symbiotic relationship between humans and animals. With care and precision, the woman feeds her feathered companions, embodying a deep understanding of agriculture and its significance for sustenance. This artwork not only provides us with a glimpse into rural existence but also sheds light on broader themes such as food, hygiene, and peasant life during medieval times. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people recognized the value of proper care for their livestock in order to ensure their own well-being. As we admire this piece by Giancarlo Costa, let us appreciate how it encapsulates both historical context and timeless wisdom. It reminds us that farming practices have evolved over time but remain rooted in fundamental principles: nurturing animals responsibly contributes to our overall health while fostering sustainable agricultural systems.
