EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history, showcasing the art of making sugar syrup as depicted in the Tractatus de Herbis by Dioscorides. Created on vellum during the 15th century by an Italian School artist, this manuscript from Biblioteca Estense in Modena, Italy offers a glimpse into medieval culinary practices. Intriguingly, this image takes us back to a time when cooking was considered an art form and sweeteners were highly valued commodities. The skilled hands of the person depicted delicately stir a pot filled with bubbling liquid gold - sugar syrup. This process required precision and expertise to achieve just the right consistency for various culinary applications. As we admire this scene, we can almost taste the sweetness that emanates from it. It reminds us of how integral sugar has been throughout history as both a flavor enhancer and preservative. From pastries to beverages, this precious ingredient transformed ordinary dishes into extraordinary delights. Beyond its gastronomic significance, this image also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our desire for indulgence. It highlights our eternal quest for creating sensory pleasures through food preparation techniques passed down through generations. Through Bridgeman Images' fine art reproduction technique, we are fortunate enough to have access to such remarkable historical artifacts like "Ms Lat 993 L. 9.28 f142r Making sugar syrup". This print not only adds beauty and intrigue to any space but also serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with all things sweet
