EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from the Book of Simple Medicines, created by Mattheaus Platearius in the 15th century. The artwork, titled "Ms Fr. Fv VI #1 fol. 138v Lungwort and Geranium" is a testament to the skill and artistry of Robinet Testard, who beautifully illuminated this vellum manuscript. The image depicts delicate lungwort and geranium flowers, meticulously detailed with vibrant colors and intricate patterns. The speckled leaves add a touch of whimsy to the composition, while the central focus on healing properties highlights their medicinal significance. It is believed that this medieval manuscript was possibly made for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme, adding an intriguing historical context to its creation. Preserved in the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia, this precious artifact continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. As we admire this stunning piece of art through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded not only of its aesthetic appeal but also its symbolic representation as a healer's guidebook. This print serves as a reminder that nature has always provided us with remedies for our ailments – a reminder that resonates even today.
