EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 15th century manuscript "Tacuinum sanitatis", showcasing the intricate artistry of an unknown artist. Titled "Butchery: the equarrising of a pig", this illumination takes us back in time to witness a traditional butchering process. In this image, we see a skilled craftsman, covered in blood and surrounded by various tools of his trade. With knife in hand, he meticulously dissects the pig's body, demonstrating his expertise in the art of butchery. The attention to detail is remarkable as every stroke of his blade is captured with precision. The setting exudes an atmosphere that transports us to a bustling medieval abattoir or butcher shop. The air is heavy with anticipation as customers await their turn for fresh cuts of meat and cold cuts neatly displayed on wooden shelves. Despite its gritty nature, there is undeniable beauty in this depiction - an appreciation for the laborious work required to sustain communities through food production. This print serves as a reminder of our connection to our ancestors' way of life and their reliance on skilled artisans like these butchers. It invites contemplation about how food has evolved over centuries while acknowledging that some traditions still persist today. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece, we are reminded not only of the historical significance it holds but also its artistic value as a miniature masterpiece from the Middle Ages.
