EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Grape Harvest (vellum) from Tacuinum Sanitatis" takes us back in time to the 13th century, immersing us in the vibrant world of medieval viticulture. The image, created by the Arabic School and now part of a private collection, showcases an exquisite manuscript page from the Tacuinum Sanitatis. In this scene, we witness a bustling vineyard during harvest season. A group of diligent pickers can be seen carefully selecting ripe black grapes from lush vines that stretch as far as the eye can see. With baskets in hand, they work tirelessly under the shade of towering trees laden with fruit. The focal point of this artwork lies at its center—a large barrel where stomping grapes take place. This age-old method is depicted with great detail and precision, highlighting both its significance in winemaking and its cultural importance throughout history. "The Grape Harvest" not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to humanity's enduring relationship with nature and agriculture. It reminds us of our ancestors' dedication to cultivating bountiful vineyards and their commitment to preserving health through knowledge passed down through generations. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported into an era long gone yet forever imprinted on vellum for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
