EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases folios from the Rothschild Book of Hours, believed to be from Ghent or Bruges in the 16th century. Painted with tempera on vellum, these intricate pages offer a glimpse into daily life during that time. The image depicts a vibrant scene filled with religious symbolism and agricultural activities. In the foreground, farmers are seen ploughing their fields using an ornate plough pulled by a team of cows. The month is indicated by the zodiac sign Libra and Scorpio, representing September and October respectively. Amidst this bustling farm setting, a butcher can be seen slaughtering cattle while nearby, a farmer tends to his livestock. The bright colors and detailed calligraphy add depth and richness to this medieval manuscript. The border surrounding the text is beautifully decorated with gothic motifs, showcasing elaborate craftsmanship typical of Northern Renaissance art. This exquisite piece offers not only insight into farming practices but also serves as a prayer book for devout individuals seeking solace in their faith. Preserved within private collections today, these folios provide us with valuable glimpses into both secular and ecclesiastical aspects of life during this period. It is through such remarkable works that we can appreciate the artistic achievements of Flemish masters who have left an indelible mark on history.
