EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating glimpse into the Middle Ages, combining two seemingly unrelated elements - the Zodiac Capricorn and a baker in his oven. The unknown artist masterfully intertwines these subjects, creating an intriguing narrative that sparks curiosity. In this miniature artwork from the 16th century, we witness the fusion of astrology and everyday life. The Capricorn zodiac sign takes center stage as it symbolizes December, while a skilled baker tends to his oven nearby. This juxtaposition highlights the significance of both celestial predictions and mundane activities during that era. The illumination technique used in this piece adds depth and richness to every intricate detail. The delicate brushstrokes bring to life the craftsmanship of this unknown artist, showcasing their talent for capturing moments frozen in time. Through this image, we are transported back to an age where horoscopes held great importance and bakers were revered for their skillful craft. It is a reminder that even in ancient times, people sought meaning through astrology while also relying on essential trades like baking for sustenance. Thanks to Leonard de Selva's expert photography skills, we can now appreciate this historical gem preserved within Bibliotheque de Toulouse in France. This remarkable print serves as a window into our past and invites us to reflect on how different yet connected our world was centuries ago.
