EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Fol. 7v The Month of July: Harvest and Sheep Shearing" transports us back to the 16th century in Venice, Italy. Taken from the Breviarium Grimani, a remarkable illuminated manuscript created by various talented artists including Gerard Horenbout and Alexander Bening, this particular folio showcases the vibrant Flemish School style. In this scene, we witness the bustling activities of summer on a medieval farm. A group of hardworking peasants diligently harvest crops while others skillfully shear sheep. The lush fields are abundant with golden grains ready for reaping, symbolizing nature's bountiful offerings during this fruitful season. The image beautifully captures the essence of agricultural labor during the Renaissance period. A farmer can be seen using a scythe to mow down crops with precision and expertise while another worker gathers them into neat bundles. The rhythmic motion of their actions reflects both dedication and efficiency. The farmhouse in the background adds depth to the composition as it stands as a testament to human habitation amidst nature's abundance. It serves as a reminder that even in an era dominated by manual labor, people found solace and purpose within their surroundings. Through this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness not only the physical exertion required for farming but also appreciate its significance in sustaining communities throughout history.
