EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 15th century, offering a glimpse into the art of bread making. The image showcases a skilled baker diligently crafting loaves of bread in his boutique bakery. Illuminated from the pages of "Tacuinum sanitatis" a renowned medieval medical and dietary treatise, this exquisite manuscript provides valuable insights into the practices and traditions of that era. The scene is filled with intricate details, highlighting the craftsmanship involved in this age-old trade. The baker's hands expertly knead the dough as he carefully tends to each loaf, ensuring they are perfectly shaped before being placed inside an oven. A tiered basket nearby holds an array of freshly baked bread, ready for consumption. The ambiance is reminiscent of a bygone era - flickering flames dance within the furnace while wisps of fragrant steam fill the air. This snapshot captures not only a moment in history but also reflects on human ingenuity and resourcefulness when it comes to sustenance. As we admire this miniature masterpiece from Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, we are transported back to an enchanting world where artisans dedicated their lives to perfecting their craft. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, our love affair with bread remains unchanged – symbolizing nourishment and community throughout generations.
