EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the outskirts of Paris in June, during the 15th century. The image is an illumination from the Tres Riches Heures of Jean, Duke of Berry, a renowned Book of Hours. It depicts a scene of hard work and rural life as men and women engage in mowing, raking, and stacking hay. The medieval manor in the background adds to the charm and authenticity of this Renaissance-era artwork. A group of workers can be seen laboring under the scorching sun, their bare feet firmly planted on the earth as they go about their tasks with determination. This glimpse into history offers insight into both agricultural practices and social structures during that period. The feudal system is evident through the presence of a serf or worker diligently tending to his duties while being overseen by someone who may be his brother or supervisor. The importance placed on manual labor is highlighted by these individuals' commitment to their work despite its physically demanding nature. As we observe this manuscript illumination, it becomes clear that even centuries ago, people relied heavily on agriculture for sustenance and survival. This timeless representation serves as a reminder not only of our past but also our connection to nature's rhythms throughout history.
