EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Prague astronomical clocks calendar plate for the month of March in 1865-66. Painted by Josef Maňes, a renowned Czech artist from the 19th century, this oil on copper plate measures 42.5x42.5 cm and is currently housed in the Museum of the City of Prague, Czech Republic. The image captures a detailed section of the original calendar plate, highlighting its intricate design and artistic mastery. The theme revolves around agriculture and farming practices during that time period. A farmer can be seen ploughing his field with an agricultural vehicle, symbolizing the importance of cultivation and hard work in rural communities. The clock mechanism integrated into this artwork adds another layer of fascination to its composition. It combines horology and astrology by incorporating zodiac signs and star constellations into its design. In March, represented by a ram signifying new beginnings, farmers would prepare their fields for planting season. Josef Maňes' attention to detail is evident throughout this piece as he skillfully portrays every element with precision and realism. From the coupling between horses to the farmhouse in the background, each component contributes to creating an immersive scene that transports viewers back to a simpler time. This print serves as both a historical artifact documenting agricultural traditions in Bohemia while also showcasing Maňes' exceptional talent as an artist capturing everyday life through his brushstrokes.
