EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "December, from the Almanach des Bergers, 1491" by Pierre Le Rouge. The xylograph engraving takes us back to the late 15th century, immersing us in a scene of daily life during this wintry month. The image transports us to a bustling medieval bakery where a skilled baker is hard at work. Surrounded by an array of freshly baked bread and pastries, he tends to his laborious task with utmost dedication. The warmth emanating from the firing oven adds a cozy touch to this enchanting snapshot. Intriguingly, we notice a sign featuring the zodiac symbol for Sagittarius hanging above the baker's station. This detail hints at the significance of astrology in medieval times and its influence on various aspects of life, even within mundane occupations like baking. Le Rouge's meticulous attention to detail shines through in this exquisite engraving. Every stroke captures not only the physicality of bread-making but also conveys a sense of purposeful industry that defined everyday existence during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our private collection, we are reminded of how art can transport us across time and space. It allows us to witness moments frozen in history while appreciating the beauty found within ordinary tasks.
