EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail from "The Month of December" a remarkable fresco created by the Bohemian School in the 15th century. The artwork is housed within the walls of Castello del Buonconsiglio, located in Trento, Italy. In this particular scene, we witness men diligently engaged in cutting down trees with their axes. This depiction offers us a glimpse into the lives of both aristocracy and peasantry during medieval times. Commissioned by Bishop George of Liechtenstein, this fresco serves as an extraordinary representation of late Gothic European art. The intricate details showcased here transport us back to a time when daily life revolved around hard work and laborious tasks. The workers' determination is evident as they skillfully chop and hew at the trunks, preparing timber for various purposes. A cart nearby suggests that these men are not only responsible for felling trees but also transporting them to be utilized elsewhere. This snapshot provides valuable insight into the social history and daily routines prevalent during this period. "The Month of December" stands as an integral part of a larger cycle depicting different months throughout the year. Its presence within Torre Aquila further solidifies its significance within Buonconsiglio Castle's rich heritage. As we admire this print today, let it serve as a reminder of our connection to past civilizations and their unwavering commitment to shaping our world through hard work and dedication.
