September - the Chateau de Saumur, 15th century, (1939) - A Glimpse into French Wine Country
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from 1939 transports us back to the 15th century, showcasing a scene of grape harvest in the vineyards surrounding the majestic Chateau de Saumur. The image is part of "Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry" an exquisite book of hours commissioned by Jean, Duc de Berry and created by renowned artists Paul Limbourg and Jean Colombe. In this vibrant depiction, we witness people diligently gathering grapes into baskets while donkeys patiently carry them in panniers. A cart pulled by oxen awaits nearby to transport these precious fruits for pressing into wine. The backdrop reveals the grandeur of the chateau itself, nestled amidst the picturesque Loire region in western France – a place still celebrated today for its exceptional wines. Considered one of Europe's finest examples of manuscript illumination, this page captures not only the agricultural importance but also showcases elements such as astrology and fortification that were significant during that era. Preserved at Musee Conde in Chantilly, France, it remains a testament to artistic brilliance throughout centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from history, we are reminded of both tradition and innovation within winemaking – an art form that continues to thrive in Saumur till this day. This evocative photograph invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also contemplate how time has shaped our connection with nature's bounty and our enduring love affair with wine.
