EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite miniature painting, titled "Calendar Miniatures, June," is a captivating glimpse into rural life during the 16th century. Circa 1530, this originally British Museum art piece is part of the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, with permission to use the image. The artist, Simon Bening, masterfully depicts the month of June with intricate detail, showcasing the process of shearing sheep as the primary focus. Shepherds are seen in the foreground, expertly guiding the sheep through the shearing process. Their deft hands and skilled use of shears demonstrate the importance of this essential agricultural task. The sheep appear calm and obedient, trusting in their shepherds' care. In the background, other scenes of rural life unfold: women gathering wildflowers, a farmer plowing a field, and children playing. The rich colors and fine details of the painting transport us back in time, allowing us to experience the charm and simplicity of life in the 16th century. The intricate brushwork and meticulous attention to detail are characteristic of the Flemish School of miniature painting, which flourished during this period. The Mary Evans Prints Online collection is proud to offer this rare and beautiful artwork, inviting us to appreciate the artistry and history of the past.
