EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed and intricate calendar plate from the Prague astronomical clocks, specifically representing the month of July in 1865-66. Painted with oil on copper plate by Josef Mánes, this artwork measures 42.5x42.5 cm and is currently housed in the Museum of the City of Prague, Czech Republic. The image focuses on a particular section of the original calendar plate, highlighting various elements that symbolize this summer month. A beautiful woman adorned in traditional attire stands gracefully amidst a bountiful harvest scene, surrounded by young boys engaged in agricultural activities. The presence of sickles emphasizes their involvement in farming and harvesting. Adding to its celestial charm, an astrological touch can be observed as Leo - represented by a majestic lion - dominates the zodiac sign for July. This fusion of astrology and horology creates an intriguing blend between timekeeping and cosmic symbolism. Josef Mánes' masterful brushstrokes bring life to this historical piece while capturing both cultural traditions and natural cycles within Bohemia's rich heritage. Through his artistry, he immortalizes not only the beauty of Prague but also pays homage to the hard work and dedication put forth by farmers during this crucial period. Lubomir Synek's expertly captured photograph allows us to appreciate every detail within this remarkable artwork while reminding us of our connection to nature's rhythms throughout history.
