EDITORS COMMENTS
The month of February, captured in exquisite miniatures from Livro de Horas de Dom Manuel, transports us to a bygone era. Painted between 1517 and 1538 by the talented artist Antonio de Hollanda (attributed), this tempera on vellum artwork is now housed in the National Museum of Ancient Art in Lisbon, Portugal. In this scene, we witness the essence of winter's embrace. Shepherds huddle together with their flock beside a crackling fire, seeking solace from the biting cold. The village street comes alive as women tend to their daily chores, feeding chickens and going about their tasks with unwavering determination. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element tells a story. A loyal dog stands guard nearby while a windmill gracefully turns against the frosty breeze. The warmth emanating from the hearth contrasts beautifully with the snowy landscape that blankets everything in sight. This miniature offers an intimate glimpse into everyday life during King Manuel I's reign (1469-1521). It captures both the hardships and simple joys experienced during winter months – walking sticks providing support on icy paths and pigs dotting the countryside. As we admire this masterpiece brought to life by Bridgeman Images' print, let us be transported back in time and appreciate how even amidst freezing temperatures, human resilience prevails.
