Adjusting Agricultural Alcaniz Barrel Beating Behind Bottle Container Depicting Elements Harvest Mallet Paintings Prepares Threshing Wedge Wine 14th
EDITORS COMMENTS
Castle Alcaniz in Spain's sun-kissed region of Aragon is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of this magnificent country. The 14th-century Calatravos Castle stands proudly against the backdrop of rolling hills and lush vineyards, a symbol of the region's agricultural past. Two exquisite Gothic paintings, housed within the castle walls, capture the essence of July and August in this rural idyll. In the first painting, July is depicted as a man engaged in the arduous task of threshing the harvest. Sweat glistens on his brow as he beats the ripe grain with a flail, the sound of the impact echoing through the countryside. A water bottle is placed behind him, a vital source of hydration in the sweltering summer heat. In the second painting, August is shown preparing a barrel for the vintage wine. With a wedge wooden mallet in hand, he meticulously adjusts the elements of the barrel, ensuring that the wine is stored in the optimal conditions. The patience and dedication required for this process are evident in the man's focused expression. These captivating paintings offer a glimpse into the daily life of rural Spain during the Middle Ages. They serve as a reminder of the importance of agriculture and the passage of time, as the seasons ebb and flow, much like the grapes that are transformed into the region's renowned wines.
