EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ms 322 f. 6v, December, a man placing loaves in an oven" transports us back to the medieval era with its exquisite illumination and attention to detail. Taken from the De Brailes Psalter, created around 1250 by William de Brailes, this illustration showcases the artistry and craftsmanship of that time. In this scene, we see a skilled baker engrossed in his work during the winter month of December. With focused determination, he carefully places freshly baked loaves into a traditional woodoven. The warmth emanating from the oven contrasts beautifully with the chilly atmosphere outside. The illuminated manuscript captures not only the essence of baking but also highlights various elements associated with this season. A delightful creature peeks out curiously from behind a barrel nearby while roundels depicting other activities for December adorn the margins. Through this image, we are reminded of how trade and craft were integral parts of daily life centuries ago. The baker's expertise is evident as he tends to his creations – loaves that would nourish many hungry mouths during those cold winter days. Thanks to Fine Art Finder and Bridgeman Images' collaboration with New College Oxford's Warden and Scholars, we can now appreciate these historical treasures without any copyright restrictions. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to both artistic talent and cultural heritage preserved through generations.
