EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from the Book of Simple Medicines, created by Mattheaus Platearius in the 15th century. The artwork, found on folio 163r of Ms Fr. Fv VI #1, is a true testament to the skill and artistry of Robinet Testard. Measuring at 26x35.5 cm, this vellum masterpiece can be found in the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia. The image transports us back to medieval times as we witness a scene filled with enchantment and wonder. A graceful lady stands amidst rushes near a flowing river, accompanied by a mystical unicorn by her side. She delicately holds a drink made from rosehips while surrounded by bulrushes and other lush vegetation. The illumination technique used brings every detail to life - from the shimmering water to the majestic bear resting peacefully on her lap. This illuminated manuscript was possibly crafted for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork captured beautifully through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of nature's healing powers and its connection to our well-being. The symbolism behind each element - the quenching drink made from rosehips and the presence of animals like bears - speaks volumes about ancient medicinal practices. This print not only serves as an aesthetic delight but also offers insight into centuries-old traditions that continue to inspire us today.
