EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from "The Simple Book of Medicines" by Mattheaus Platearius, dating back to the 15th century. The image, captured on vellum and measuring 26x35.5 cm, is a testament to the artistry and knowledge of its creator, Robinet Testard. In this particular folio (123r), we are treated to a visual feast of botanical wonders. The top row features two plants: Salt Bush and Anthora. Their delicate forms and intricate details are rendered with precision, inviting us into the world of herbal remedies and medicinal plants. Moving to the bottom row, our eyes are drawn to Absinthium and Cardamom. These vibrant specimens exude vitality through their rich colors and lush foliage. It is as if they possess an inherent power that can heal both body and soul. As we delve deeper into this artwork's historical significance, we discover that it was created for Charles of Angouleme and Louise of Savoy during the 16th century. This c12th treatise on medicine not only serves as a window into medieval healing practices but also bears witness to the enduring fascination with nature's healing properties. With c16th annotations adorning its margins, this illuminated manuscript stands as a testament to human curiosity throughout centuries past. Its presence in the National Library in St. Petersburg reminds us that knowledge transcends time and place. Through this print from Fine Art Finder by www. bridg
