EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Monastic husbandry" takes us back in time to the tranquil world of a medieval monastery. The engraving, created by Frederick Henry Townsend, beautifully captures the essence of monastic life and its connection to the land. In this scene, we witness a group of devoted monks engaging in their daily agricultural tasks. With spades in hand, they diligently dig into the earth, tending to their crops with unwavering dedication. It is evident that farming was not only a means for sustenance but also an integral part of their spiritual practice. The image transports us to St Columba's Monastery, where these men lived harmoniously amidst nature's bounty. Their humble existence revolved around self-sufficiency and simplicity as they cultivated the fields surrounding their sacred abode. Through this enchanting depiction, we are reminded of the profound bond between humanity and agriculture. The monks' commitment to working the land reflects their deep reverence for God's creation and highlights how farming can be both physically demanding and spiritually fulfilling. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are invited to contemplate our own relationship with nature and recognize the timeless wisdom found within ancient traditions like monastic husbandry.
