EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from the Book of Simple Medicines, created by Mattheaus Platearius in the 15th century. The artwork, found on folio 166r of Ms Fr. Fv VI #1, is a testament to the skill and artistry of Robinet Testard, who beautifully illuminated this medieval manuscript. Measuring at 26x35.5 cm, this stunning piece depicts a scene filled with elements that evoke both curiosity and wonder. A treatise on healing remedies comes alive through intricate details such as dried seed pods, crystals, and various rocks scattered throughout the composition. The vibrant colors used in glazing techniques bring life to each element depicted - from fiery red berries to lapis lazuli stones. The focal point of the illustration captures a healer amidst a burning house, surrounded by earthenware pottery containing medicinal spices and herbs. This imagery symbolizes the transformative power of fire in creating curative concoctions for ailments. It is believed that this particular manuscript was possibly made for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme - adding historical significance to its already impressive artistic value. As we gaze upon this remarkable print captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to an era where knowledge was preserved through beautiful illustrations like these - reminding us not only of our past but also inspiring us to appreciate the wonders that lie within nature's remedies.
