EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from "The Book of Simple Medicines" by Mattheaus Platearius, dating back to the 15th century. The artwork, created by Robinet Testard, measures 26x35.5 cm and is currently housed in the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia. The illuminated manuscript, believed to have been made for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme, offers a glimpse into medieval medicinal practices. The delicate brushstrokes bring to life various curative plants and their healing properties. In this particular scene, we are drawn to the left side where artemesia absinthium (wormwood), aristolochia (long birthwort), and clematis flourish with vibrant colors. These flowering shoots symbolize nature's power to provide remedies and cures for ailments that plagued humanity centuries ago. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry, it is impossible not to be captivated by its intricate details – from the buds waiting patiently to bloom to the meticulous rendering of each leaf. This illustration serves as a testament not only to the skillful craftsmanship of Testard but also highlights our enduring fascination with herbal medicine throughout history. Through this print brought forth by Fine Art Finder and Bridgeman Art Library's collaboration, we can appreciate both the aesthetic beauty and historical significance encapsulated within "Ms Fr. Fv VI #1 fol. 120v Illustration from The Book of Simple Medicines. "
