EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a facsimile of February, featuring a picturesque farmyard scene with peasants. The artwork is a copy from the renowned Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, created by the talented Limbourg Brothers during the 15th century. Preserved in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, this Netherlandish masterpiece captures the essence of rural life during that era. The image transports us to a winter wonderland as snow blankets every surface and creates an enchanting backdrop for this idyllic setting. In the foreground, hardworking peasants can be seen going about their daily tasks. A group of them are huddled together near drawers filled with firewood, seeking warmth from a crackling bonfire. Nearby stands a bee hive, symbolizing industry and productivity. As we explore further into the scene, our attention is drawn to a pen where sheep graze peacefully under Apollo's watchful eye – depicted as the sun in astrology's zodiac signs Aquarius and Pisces. This celestial alignment signifies hope and new beginnings as winter gradually gives way to spring. This remarkable piece exemplifies Northern Renaissance artistry at its finest, showcasing intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship that have stood the test of time. It serves as both an homage to historical farming traditions and an invitation for viewers to immerse themselves in this timeless world captured on vellum centuries ago.
