EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from the 15th century, showcasing Ms 493 fol. 45 Virgil (70-19BC) engrossed in writing the Life of Bees. The illuminated manuscript, part of The Georgics by Virgil with a commentary by Servius, was created in 1469 and is now housed at the Bibliotheque Municipale in Dijon, France. In this enchanting image, we see Virgil immersed in his work amidst a serene garden setting. With a beekeeper's hat perched on his head and an array of beehives nearby, he finds inspiration from nature itself. Positioned behind an elegant lectern adorned with intricate details, he diligently pens down his thoughts while surrounded by lush greenery. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of rural idyll and pastoral poetry that resonates throughout Virgil's masterpiece. It offers us a glimpse into the world of this renowned poet as he delves deep into his creative process. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that literature has no boundaries when it comes to gender or time period; for even though this artwork depicts a male writer at work, it serves as a reminder that female writers too have made significant contributions to literary history. With its rich historical context and exquisite craftsmanship depicted through vibrant colors on vellum parchment, this print transports us back to an era where artistry merged seamlessly with storytelling – creating timeless pieces that continue to captivate audiences
