EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 13th century, showcasing the December slaughter of pigs. Taken from the "Breviaire d'amour" by Ermengol de Beziers, this miniature offers a glimpse into daily life during the Middle Ages. The artwork is housed in the Royal Library of the Escorial Monastery in Spain. In this intricate depiction, we witness a bustling abattoir where skilled craftsmen go about their work with precision and expertise. The atmosphere is filled with activity as butchers laboriously prepare meat for consumption. Their tools, including an axe and various other instruments, are symbols of their trade. The image not only provides insight into medieval agriculture and breeding practices but also serves as an allegory for human existence. It reminds us that food production was essential for survival during this period. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of paint on this Romanesque-style masterpiece. From the dirt-covered floor to each individual pig being slaughtered, no element has been overlooked. Luisa Ricciarini's expert reproduction brings new life to this historical artwork while honoring its original creator, Matfre Ermengaut. This medium-aged print transports viewers back in time and allows them to appreciate both the artistry involved and gain a deeper understanding of medieval society.
