EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable miniature from the 15th-century manuscript of the "Tres Riches Heures" belonging to Jean, Duke of Berry. Known as the Anatomical/Astrological Man, this intricate artwork depicts the profound influence of zodiacal stars on the human body. Within this medieval masterpiece, we witness an amalgamation of occult knowledge and scientific understanding prevalent during that era. The diagram beautifully illustrates how each zodiac sign corresponds to specific parts of the human anatomy, highlighting their interconnectedness with celestial bodies. The attention to detail in this miniature is awe-inspiring. Delicately painted figures represent both men and women, emphasizing that these influences are not limited by gender. This inclusion reflects a progressive mindset for its time. Commissioned by Jean, Duke of Berry, who was renowned for his patronage of literature and art, this piece exemplifies his appreciation for intellectual pursuits beyond traditional noble interests. It serves as a testament to his desire to explore diverse subjects such as astronomy and anatomy through visual representation. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork today, it transports us back in time to an era where science intertwined with mysticism and imagination knew no bounds. The Anatomical/Astrological Man reminds us that our existence is intricately connected with cosmic forces far greater than ourselves—a timeless reminder that still captivates our curiosity centuries later.
