EDITORS COMMENTS
This 14th-century print titled "Picking Pears" takes us back in time to witness a scene of agricultural abundance and natural beauty. The illumination is from the renowned manuscript "Tacuinum sanitatis" which focuses on medicine and dietetics, providing valuable insights into health practices during the Middle Ages. In this artwork, we see a man carefully selecting ripe pears from a fruit tree while surrounded by lush greenery. The presence of an animal nearby suggests that this harvest is not only for human consumption but also sustains other creatures in nature. A bird perched on a branch adds an element of liveliness to the scene, reminding us of the interconnectedness between humans and the environment. The artist Giancarlo Costa has skillfully captured both the aesthetic appeal and scientific significance of this moment. Through his intricate details, we can almost taste the sweetness of these freshly picked fruits. This image serves as a reminder that even in ancient times, people recognized the importance of consuming nutritious food for maintaining good health. As we admire this piece, let us appreciate its historical value as well as its relevance today. It reminds us to cherish our connection with nature and make conscious choices about what we consume for our well-being.
