EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical scene from the 14th century, titled "Instruments for working the field and a man plowing - in 'Scutum Herculis (The Shield of Heracles)'". The artwork is part of Hesiode's collection and can be found at the Biblioteca Marciana in Venice, Italy. The image beautifully captures an unknown artist's depiction of agricultural life during the Middle Ages. In the foreground, we see various instruments used for working the fields, including a plow and other farming equipment. These tools were vital for tilling the land and ensuring successful harvests. A man can be seen diligently guiding his horse-drawn plow through the earth, symbolizing hard work and dedication to agriculture. This miniature illustration provides us with a glimpse into rural life centuries ago when manual labor was essential for survival. The intricate details showcased in this manuscript illumination are truly remarkable. Every stroke brings to life not only the machinery but also emphasizes its importance in sustaining communities during that era. As we admire this piece by Giancarlo Costa, it serves as a reminder of our connection to history and how far we have come in terms of technological advancements in agriculture. It allows us to appreciate those who came before us, shaping our world through their tireless efforts on these very fields depicted so vividly here.
