EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 14th-century print titled "A young woman picks up chicken eggs" we are transported back in time to witness a simple yet vital act of daily life. The illumination from the milking of medicine and dietetics, as depicted in the Tacuinum sanitatis, showcases the importance placed on knowledge and care for one's health during that era. The image portrays a young woman delicately collecting eggs from a nest, highlighting her connection with nature and agriculture. With an air of concentration and purpose, she symbolizes the timeless role of women in nurturing both their families and communities through food production. This artwork also hints at the significance of hygiene and cleanliness in maintaining good health. The meticulous attention given to handling these precious eggs underscores the understanding that proper care is essential for safe consumption. As we admire this piece by an unknown artist from centuries ago, it serves as a reminder that our relationship with food has always been intertwined with our well-being. It prompts us to reflect on how far we have come in terms of advancements in farming practices while acknowledging the wisdom passed down through generations. Giancarlo Costa's masterful capture allows us to appreciate not only the beauty within this historical artifact but also its relevance today. This print invites contemplation about our own diets, agricultural practices, and personal responsibility towards promoting health – themes that remain ever-present despite being separated by centuries.
