EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Shepherds calendar - The Labours of the Months - September" transports us back to the 15th century French countryside. Created by Stefano Bianchetti, this woodcut is part of a larger book printed by Guy Marchant in 1496. In this scene, we witness the laborious work of peasants sowing seeds in a field during the month of September. With their hands raised high, they scatter seeds with precision and expertise. The image beautifully captures the essence of agriculture during this time period, showcasing both manual labor and agricultural machinery. The woodcut provides an intriguing glimpse into daily life during the Middle Ages. It offers insight into farming techniques, depicting a plow being pulled by horses or oxen as it tills the soil. This transportation method was crucial for efficient farming practices at that time. As we delve deeper into this artwork's details, we notice references to astrology as well. The zodiac signs Scorpio and Libra are subtly incorporated through symbols such as scales and scorpions crawling amidst the crops. Overall, Stefano Bianchetti's woodcut invites us to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its historical significance. It serves as a window into centuries past when agriculture played an essential role in sustaining communities across France.
