EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an enchanting illustration from "The Book of Simple Medicines" by Mattheaus Platearius, dating back to the 15th century. Created on vellum by the talented Robinet Testard, this artwork measures 26x35.5 cm and is housed in the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia. The image showcases a delicate bud of bladder campion (silene vulgaris) in various stages of growth and flowering. The intricate details of the herb's stem and leaves are beautifully illuminated, emphasizing its healing properties and curative potential. Believed to have been made for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme, this medieval manuscript holds great historical significance. It offers a glimpse into the world of herbal remedies during that era when plants were relied upon for their medicinal qualities. Intriguingly depicted alongside the budding bladder campion is another plant called holosteon or bonesetter - known for its ability to heal fractures and mend broken bones. This juxtaposition suggests that both flora possess valuable healing properties. Through this exquisite illustration, we are transported back in time to witness nature's therapeutic wonders as understood by our ancestors. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people sought solace and relief through natural remedies found within their surroundings. As we admire this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's collection curated by Bridgeman Images, let us appreciate the wisdom passed down through generations about harnessing nature's power for our
