EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 15th century manuscript of "Tres Riches Heures" belonging to Jean, Duke of Berry. In this illuminated artwork, we are transported back in time to July, where the fields come alive with activity. The image depicts two essential tasks of rural life during this month: shearing sheep and reaping wheat. As we gaze upon the picture, we can almost feel the warm summer breeze brushing against our skin. A medieval farmer diligently wields his sickle, gracefully cutting down golden stalks of wheat that sway gently in the wind. Nearby, a worker carefully tends to a flock of sheep as their wool is skillfully removed by another figure. The setting exudes tranquility and simplicity; it is an idyllic representation of rural life during harvest season. The lush green pasture stretches out into the distance, inviting us to imagine ourselves amidst its peaceful embrace. This illumination not only showcases the agricultural practices prevalent during this era but also provides insight into daily life and labor dynamics within medieval society. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people relied on nature's bounty for sustenance and livelihood. Through this remarkable piece of literature brought to life through vivid colors and intricate details, we are granted a glimpse into history—a testament to human ingenuity and resilience across time.
