EDITORS COMMENTS
October, wine-making in the early 16th century: A glimpse into rustic rural life". This print from the early 16th century takes us back to a time when autumn was synonymous with the art of wine-making. In this scene, we witness men engaged in the age-old tradition of pressing grapes and drawing wine from barrels. The vibrant colors bring to life the vine leaves surrounding them, as if celebrating nature's bountiful harvest. Amidst this picturesque setting, our attention is drawn below to a game of skittles being played with knuckle-bones. It offers an intriguing insight into pastimes enjoyed during that era - a delightful diversion for those taking part in winemaking. The artist skillfully captures not only human activity but also includes animals such as dogs and birds, adding an element of liveliness to the composition. Notably, a majestic peacock stands nearby, symbolizing beauty and abundance. Through this exquisite manuscript illustration preserved by the British Library collection, we are transported back in time; it serves as a window into medieval society's connection with nature and their appreciation for its gifts. This artwork reminds us that even centuries ago, people found joy in simple pleasures like making wine amidst breathtaking landscapes. As we admire this print today, let us raise our glasses to honor these men who labored diligently during October – forever capturing their spirit through art media.
