EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning miniature artwork from the 11th century Venice, depicting scenes of ancient agricultural practices. The image is part of "The Cynegetics" by Oppian, a renowned Syrian poet from the 3rd century AD, dedicated to Caracalla. In this intricate illustration, we are transported back in time to witness the harvest of olives, honey production, and lamb slaughters. The attention to detail is remarkable as every element comes alive on the page. A beekeeper tends to his beehive while bees buzz around him, symbolizing the art of beekeeping and its importance in ancient agriculture. Amidst lush greenery and towering trees stands an olive tree laden with ripe fruits ready for harvesting. This scene represents the significance of olives in Mediterranean culture and their role in producing precious olive oil. Furthermore, we observe a solemn moment as a lamb is being slaughtered—a practice deeply rooted in ancient traditions related to food production and religious rituals. The artist's skillful illumination technique brings vibrancy and life to this historical masterpiece. Through this print captured by Luisa Ricciarini, we can appreciate not only the artistic brilliance but also gain insights into centuries-old farming practices that shaped civilizations long ago.
