EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving titled "Sagittarius and Capricorn" by Pierre Le Rouge, a renowned artist from the late 15th century. The artwork is part of a larger calendar series called "The Calendar of Shepherds" created in 1491. In this particular piece, we are transported back to the medieval era, where agriculture played a vital role in society. The image depicts two zodiac signs: Sagittarius, represented by an archer symbolizing strength and precision, and Capricorn, portrayed as a goat symbolizing determination and resilience. The scene unfolds with various elements that capture the essence of the Middle Ages. A baker tends to his oven while nearby soldiers engage in archery practice—a popular sport during that time period. A shepherdess watches over her flock of sheep as she consults with an astrologer about celestial matters. This engraving not only represents agricultural life but also incorporates biblical references such as the adoration of shepherds during the nativity scene. It beautifully merges historical events with astrological symbolism. Bridgeman Images has masterfully preserved this significant artwork for us to appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the rich tapestry woven by our ancestors—their customs, beliefs, and aspirations—captured forever within this remarkable piece of art.
