EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from the Book of Simple Medicines, a medieval manuscript believed to have been made for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme. Created by Mattheaus Platearius in approximately 1470, this illuminated artwork is a testament to the healing power of nature. Measuring at 26x35.5 cm, this vellum masterpiece was skillfully crafted by Robinet Testard. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life various curative herbs and flowers depicted in the illustration. Among them are campion and lychnis coronaria, known for their medicinal properties. The image also features plantain leaves, which were commonly used as remedies during that era. This visual representation serves as a reminder of the ancient wisdom passed down through generations about the healing potential found in nature's bounty. Housed in the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia, this remarkable piece offers a glimpse into medieval medicine and its reliance on herbal remedies. It evokes a sense of reverence for our ancestors' knowledge and their deep connection with plants as sources of cures and remedies. As we admire this stunning artwork captured by Fine Art Finder from www. bridgemanart. com, we are reminded that even centuries ago people recognized the power held within these humble plants - an enduring testament to humanity's quest for health and well-being.
