EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed and intricate calendar plate from the Prague astronomical clocks in June 1865-66. Painted by Josef Mánes, this oil on copper plate is now housed in the Museum of the City of Prague, Czech Republic. The image captures a mesmerizing scene filled with symbolism and agricultural references. In the foreground, we see a female farmer adorned with traditional attire, holding a sickle as she harvests crops. Beside her stands a male farmer wielding a scythe, both diligently working to gather their bountiful harvest. Surrounding them are elements representing the zodiac sign Cancer, such as lobsters and crabs. These astrological symbols allude to the influence of celestial bodies on farming activities during this time of year. The clock itself serves as an essential tool for farmers to keep track of time while tending to their fields. Its presence reminds us that agriculture relies heavily on precise timing and seasonal cycles. Through this artwork, Mánes beautifully captures not only the importance of agriculture but also pays homage to traditional farming practices in Bohemia. This stunning piece invites viewers into an enchanting world where art intertwines with practicality and celebrates the timeless connection between humanity and nature's rhythms.
