EDITORS COMMENTS
This 14th-century illumination, titled "Picking sweet almonds" transports us back in time to the enchanting world of medieval medicine and dietetics. The unknown artist skillfully depicts a scene from the renowned manuscript "Tacuinum sanitatis" held at the Bibl. Braidense in Milan. In this image, we witness a man diligently picking sweet almonds from a fruit tree, surrounded by lush nature. The delicate brushstrokes beautifully capture his focused expression as he carefully selects each almond, highlighting the importance of attention to detail even in ancient times. The significance of this illustration lies not only in its botanical accuracy but also in its connection to health and well-being. Almonds were highly regarded for their medicinal properties during the Middle Ages, making them an essential ingredient for doctors and healers alike. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into the fascinating intersection between science and nature that defined medieval society. It serves as a reminder that our understanding of food and its impact on our health has deep historical roots. Giancarlo Costa's expert photography brings out every intricate detail of this remarkable piece while preserving its historical essence. As we admire this print today, let us appreciate both the artistic mastery behind it and the timeless wisdom it represents about our relationship with nature and nourishment.
