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 159r of Ms Fr. Fv VI #1, is a testament to the skill and creativity of Robinet Testard, the illuminator responsible for its creation. The image depicts a scene filled with curative and healing elements that were highly valued during medieval times. Vibrant flowers and medicinal weeds are meticulously painted, capturing their intricate details. Amongst them, one can spot burrs and hips - known for their therapeutic properties. Measuring at 26x35.5 cm, this masterpiece resides within the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia. It is believed to have been crafted specifically for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme - a remarkable connection that adds historical significance to this stunning piece. Through its illumination and artistry, this illustration transports viewers back in time to an era where herbal remedies played a vital role in healthcare practices. Its beauty lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its portrayal of ancient wisdom passed down through generations.
