The Month of July, c. 1400
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating fresco that offers us a glimpse into the lives of both the medieval aristocracy and peasantry during this time period. This remarkable piece of late Gothic European art, commissioned by Bishop George of Liechtenstein in the 15th century, can be found at Torre Aquila in Trento's Buonconsiglio Castle. The scene depicted in this print showcases the vibrant activities that took place during the month of July. In the foreground, we see peasants engaged in harvesting crops using rakes and scythes, highlighting their crucial role in agriculture. The abundance of golden wheat symbolizes prosperity and abundance. In contrast to the toiling peasants, we observe members of the aristocracy enjoying leisurely pursuits on a boat ride. Falconry is prominently featured as one nobleman holds his falcon with pride while others revel in conversation and relaxation. This painting beautifully captures daily life during summer - a season filled with hard work but also moments for enjoyment and recreation. It serves as a testament to how interconnected society was back then; where every individual had their part to play in ensuring survival and prosperity. "The Month of July" transports us back to an era when farming was not just an occupation but an integral part of people's identities. Through its intricate details and vivid colors, this artwork invites us to reflect upon our own relationship with nature and appreciate the rich history that has shaped our world today.
