EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing illustration from the 13th century, found in a psalter's calendar. Titled "MS CCC 285 f. 3 A three-headed man drinking" this artwork transports us back to medieval times with its intricate details and rich symbolism. In the center of the image stands a peculiar figure - a three-headed man indulging in his meal. Each face wears a distinct expression, capturing various emotions that intrigue and fascinate the viewer. The man holds an ornate chalice, which he raises towards his mouths simultaneously, as if relishing every sip of his drink. Surrounded by elements associated with January, such as boar's head and jug-like pitchers, this illustration represents both feasting and introspection during winter months. It is reminiscent of Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and transitions who possessed two faces looking into past and future simultaneously. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke on this vellum masterpiece preserved at Corpus Christi College in Oxford. This rare gem not only offers insight into medieval dining customs but also serves as a visual reminder of how art transcends time. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are reminded that even centuries-old works can still captivate our imagination today. Let it transport you to another era where mythical creatures roamed freely and everyday life was intertwined with mysticism – all within one frame.
