EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "November, killing the pig and harvesting acorns, Scorpio" takes us back to the year 1491. The image is an illustration from the Almanach des Bergers created by Pierre Le Rouge, a talented artist of the late 15th century. In this scene, we witness a significant moment in the agricultural calendar as farmers and labourers engage in their seasonal tasks. A group of peasants can be seen diligently working together under an ancient oak tree. One farmer holds a knife while another prepares to slaughter a large boar with precision. The atmosphere is filled with intense focus as they gather acorns for various purposes, perhaps to feed livestock or grind into flour for baking bread. The presence of blood indicates that this is not just any ordinary day on the farm; it symbolizes sacrifice and sustenance. As we delve deeper into this medieval world, we notice an astrological element present - Sagittarius, represented by a centaur archer aiming his arrow towards the sky. This zodiac sign adds mystique to an already fascinating scene. Through this powerful xylograph engraving captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness both the harsh realities and intricate beauty of rural life during November's harvest season. It serves as a reminder of our connection to nature's cycles and how hard work sustains communities throughout history.
