EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from the Book of Simple Medicines, created by Mattheaus Platearius in the 15th century. The artwork, found on folio 139v of Ms Fr. Fv VI #1, is a true testament to the skill and artistry of Robinet Testard, who beautifully illuminated this medieval manuscript. Measuring at 26x35.5 cm, this vellum masterpiece can be found at the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia. It is believed that this particular manuscript was possibly made for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme. The illustration itself is a visual feast for the eyes. In the top right corner, we see betonica officinalis (betany) and trifolium (clover), both known for their curative properties in herbal medicine. The vibrant yellow flower at the bottom left is Plinio Oxys - another medicinal plant with healing qualities. Adding to its allure are crayfish and aquatic plants depicted throughout the scene; these elements symbolize nature's abundance and connection to healing practices during that era. As you admire this remarkable piece of history captured by Fine Art Finder via www. bridgemanart. com, let your imagination transport you back in time to an age where herb extracts were treasured remedies for various ailments – a testament to humanity's enduring quest for well-being through natural means.
