EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of January with its rich symbolism and intricate details. In the center left, we see a roundel featuring Janus, the two-faced Roman god who serves as the keeper of heaven's gate. His dual nature represents the transition from one year to another, looking both back at the past and forward to the future. On top of Janus' image, we find an astrological sign for Aquarius, represented by a Water Carrier. This celestial symbol signifies this zodiac sign associated with innovation, humanitarianism, and intellectual curiosity. The artwork is part of the renowned Bedford Hours collection dating back to 1423 France. The meticulous craftsmanship is evident in every stroke and color choice that brings this piece to life. As we gaze upon this print, it transports us into a world where time stands still amidst winter's embrace. It reminds us of our connection to ancient traditions and celestial rhythms that shape our lives
