EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 13th century, depicting September as pigs feast on fallen acorns. Taken from the "Breviaire d'amour" by Ermengol de Beziers, this miniature showcases the intricate artistry and attention to detail prevalent during the Middle Ages. The image transports us to a time when agriculture played a vital role in everyday life. The allegorical representation of pigs devouring acorns symbolizes abundance and prosperity associated with autumn harvests. As these animals indulge in their meal under the shade of an oak tree, we are reminded of nature's bountiful offerings. The illumination technique used in this artwork adds depth and richness to every element depicted. The artist's skillful brushstrokes bring each piglet to life, capturing their playful energy and enthusiasm for their feast. Meanwhile, the towering oak tree stands as a testament to strength and longevity. Located within the Royal Library of Escorial Monastery in Spain, this masterpiece is preserved for generations to admire its beauty and historical significance. It serves as a reminder of our connection with nature and how it sustains us through its resources. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this remarkable piece through her lens, ensuring that its essence remains intact even centuries later. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic brilliance but also offers insight into medieval agricultural practices – truly an invaluable addition to any art collection or history enthusiast's repertoire.
