EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the month of September as depicted in the Livro de Horas de Dom Manuel, a renowned Book of Hours from the 16th century. Created by Antonio de Hollanda or attributed to him, this exquisite piece is housed in the National Museum of Ancient Art in Lisbon, Portugal. The scene beautifully captures the essence of rural life during autumn. It depicts laborers diligently engaged in various activities related to grape harvesting. The meticulous detail and vibrant colors bring these moments to life on vellum using tempera technique. In one corner, we see men and women picking grapes with utmost care and precision. They delicately place them into baskets before transporting them to the winery for further processing. In another corner, workers are shown treading on grapes inside large vats, extracting their precious juice that will eventually be transformed into wine. The overall composition exudes a sense of harmony between nature's bounty and human effort. Oxen play an essential role too; they assist with transportation and contribute to the agricultural tasks at hand. This remarkable artwork not only offers us a glimpse into daily life centuries ago but also serves as a testament to the importance of agriculture throughout history. It reminds us of our connection with nature's cycles and celebrates the hard work involved in reaping its rewards during harvest season.
