EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Fol. 59r October: Ploughing" takes us back in time to the medieval era where agriculture was at the heart of daily life. Created by Matfre Ermengaut in the 14th century, this vellum manuscript captures a scene from the month of October, showcasing a farmer diligently working the land. In this beautifully illuminated artwork found within the Breviary of Love housed in Madrid's Biblioteca Monasterio del Escorial, we witness an essential moment in farming history. A sturdy plough is being skillfully guided through fertile soil by a hardworking farmer and his team of cattle. The cow's strength and determination are evident as they effortlessly pull this crucial agricultural vehicle. The artist's attention to detail brings every element to life - from the intricate harnesses connecting man and beast to the rustic farmhouse nestled amongst rolling hills. This image not only celebrates manual labor but also highlights how interconnected humans were with nature during that period. As we admire this historical masterpiece, it reminds us of our deep-rooted connection with agriculture and its significance throughout human history. It serves as a reminder that even today, despite technological advancements, farming remains an essential part of our lives – providing sustenance for communities around the world. Through Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate and cherish this extraordinary piece that showcases both artistry and humanity intertwined within one frame.
