EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Ruralia commoda, an agricultural calendar from a manuscript by Pietro de Crescenzi dating back to around 1470-1475. The image is part of the esteemed Muse e Conde collection in Chantilly. Transporting us to autumn in the countryside, this artwork beautifully captures daily life and family dynamics during that era. It depicts a hardworking farmer and his wife amidst their farming duties, symbolizing the essence of rural existence. The fine art imagery evokes a sense of tranquility and simplicity, reminding us of the importance of connecting with nature. The scene also highlights various elements associated with agriculture and harvests. A jug filled with freshly harvested grapes takes center stage, representing wine production as well as traditional practices passed down through generations. The peasant family's attire reflects their connection to tradition and emphasizes their role in sustaining rural communities. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this artwork holds deeper meanings rooted in mythology, allegory, literature, and Renaissance culture. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience throughout history. As we admire this exquisite gouache on parchment creation by the masterful artist known as "Master of Geneva Boccaccio" let it remind us of our deep-rooted ties to nature and inspire gratitude for those who have dedicated themselves to cultivating our lands for centuries.
