EDITORS COMMENTS
This 14th-century illumination from the Tacuinum sanitatis manuscript showcases the art of picking cherries. The unknown artist skillfully depicts a scene of agricultural abundance and natural beauty. Set against a backdrop of lush greenery, a man stands on a ladder, carefully plucking ripe cherries from the branches of a fruit tree. The image evokes a sense of harmony between humanity and nature, as well as an appreciation for the bountiful gifts that the earth provides. It is evident that this medieval society understood the importance of cherishing and utilizing nature's offerings for their health and well-being. Intriguingly, this artwork also serves as an insight into medical practices during the Middle Ages. The inclusion of this illustration in "The milking of medicine and dietetics" suggests that cherries were valued not only for their delicious taste but also for their potential medicinal properties. Giancarlo Costa's expert photography captures every intricate detail with precision, allowing us to admire both the artistic mastery behind this piece and its historical significance. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how our ancestors interacted with nature to sustain themselves physically and spiritually. This photograph serves as a reminder that even centuries later, there is still much wisdom to be gained from studying our past.
