EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Fol 6v The Month of June: Haymaking" from the renowned Breviarium Grimani, a masterpiece created by Flemish School artists in the 16th century. Crafted on vellum and currently housed at the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Venice, Italy, this artwork offers a glimpse into daily life during the Renaissance period. The scene depicts a serene countryside landscape where peasants engage in haymaking activities along the riverbank. Men and women toil under the warm June sun, their scythes and rakes diligently cutting through tall grasses. The harvest season is in full swing as they gather bountiful crops for sustenance and livelihood. Intriguingly, nestled within this idyllic rural setting lies a fortified town, symbolizing the harmonious coexistence of nature and civilization during that era. This fusion of agricultural labor with urban existence highlights how interconnected these aspects were for society's functioning. The meticulous illumination work by Gerard Horenbout, Alexander Bening, and Simon Bening brings vibrancy to every detail captured within this image. Their artistic prowess breathes life into each figure depicted - from strong male workers wielding their tools to graceful female figures gracefully participating in manual labor. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, it serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic brilliance. It transports us back centuries ago when agriculture played an integral role in shaping communities while showcasing the talent
