EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Fol. 10v Month of October: Sowing, from Breviarium Grimani, a remarkable illuminated manuscript created by the Flemish School in the 16th century. The artwork, made on vellum and currently housed in the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Venice, Italy, depicts a scene of agricultural work during autumn. In this exquisite miniature painting, we are transported to a gothic castle surrounded by lush fields. A farmer can be seen diligently sowing seeds with his trusty horse and harrow while crows watch attentively from above. The walls and turrets of the castle provide an impressive backdrop as workers engage in various tasks such as laundry and archery practice. The attention to detail is truly astounding; every element has been meticulously crafted with vibrant colors and intricate patterns. From the rowing boat on the moat to the ramparts overlooking the landscape, each aspect adds depth and richness to this stunning composition. The Grimani Breviary was not only a religious text but also an artistic masterpiece that showcased the talents of several renowned artists from Ghent workshops. Its inclusion in Cardinal Domenico Grimani's collection further solidified its significance within Renaissance art history. This print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to manual labor, agriculture, and rural life during this period. It is indeed an extraordinary piece that continues to captivate viewers even centuries after its creation.
