EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from the Book of Simple Medicines, a medieval manuscript believed to have been made for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme. Created by Mattheaus Platearius in the 15th century, this illuminated artwork is a testament to the intricate craftsmanship and botanical knowledge of that era. Measuring 26x35.5 cm, this vellum masterpiece features a vibrant array of flora and flowers meticulously painted by Robinet Testard. The focal point is a beautiful calendula plant with its delicate petals and vibrant colors symbolizing healing properties. Surrounding it are various other plants and bulbs, each carefully chosen for their medicinal qualities. The attention to detail in this illustration is awe-inspiring - every leaf, shoot, and stem has been rendered with precision and accuracy. It serves as both a visual treatise on herbal remedies as well as an artistic marvel. Housed in the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia, this piece offers us a glimpse into the world of medieval medicine while also showcasing the talent and skill possessed by artists like Testard during that time period. As we admire this remarkable work of art captured through photography, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also its timeless beauty that continues to captivate viewers today.
