EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed and intricate calendar plate from the Prague astronomical clocks. Painted in oil on copper plate by Josef Mánes in September 1865-66, this artwork measures 42.5x42.5 cm and is housed in the Museum of the City of Prague, Czech Republic. The image focuses on a specific detail of the original calendar plate, highlighting its exquisite craftsmanship and historical significance. The artist skillfully depicts a scene that captures the essence of agricultural life during that period. In this enchanting composition, we see a farmer diligently working his land, surrounded by lush fields ready for harvest. He is engaged in sewing seeds while his loyal horses patiently wait nearby. The presence of Libra symbolizes balance and harmony within nature's cycles. The painting also incorporates elements of astrology with zodiac signs adorning the corners, emphasizing man's connection to celestial movements and their influence on farming practices. Josef Mánes masterfully brings together horology, agriculture, and artistry in this remarkable piece. It serves as both an accurate timekeeping device and an aesthetic decoration for farmers' homes. As we gaze upon this extraordinary work, we are transported back to 19th-century Bohemia when farming was not only a way of life but also an art form deeply rooted in tradition and respect for nature's rhythms.
