But let us not forget the profound religious artistry of this era - a crucifixion scene captured in a breathtaking Byzantine Icon from the XIVth century evokes deep contemplation and reflection on faith. Intriguingly shifting gears, we encounter Tacuinum Sanitatis' late XIVth-century depiction of cherry picking - an ordinary yet delightful glimpse into daily life during this period. Journey further back in time as we explore Menjeperura Tutmosis IV's tomb dating back over three millennia ago; its grandeur speaks volumes about ancient Egyptian civilization. The skillful hands of a tailor come alive through Tacuinum Sanitatis' late XIVth-century illustration - reminding us that craftsmanship knows no bounds across centuries. Venturing beyond borders, witness Noah indulging in wine within St. Mark's Baptistery mosaic - an exquisite portrayal that transcends time and culture while offering insights into biblical narratives. Finally, Charles VI emerges before our eyes through Jean Du Tillet's engraving capturing his regal presence as King of France during this epoch-defining era.
