EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning illustration from "The Book of Simple Medicines" by Mattheaus Platearius, dating back to the 15th century. The image features an exquisite display of chamomile and cucumber, meticulously painted by Robinet Testard. Intriguingly, this medieval manuscript was possibly created for Louise of Savoy, the wife of Charles of Angouleme. The delicate vellum page measures 26x35.5 cm and is currently housed in the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia. The top left corner exhibits a vibrant depiction of chamomile flowers with their daisy-like appearance and healing properties. Chamomile has long been recognized for its curative abilities and is often used to make soothing teas or remedies. On the right side, we find an equally detailed portrayal of cucumbers - refreshing fruits known for their medicinal benefits as well as culinary uses. This illustration beautifully captures the essence of these two natural wonders. Testard's illumination technique brings life to every petal, bud, and hip depicted in this artwork. The intricate details and vivid colors make it truly mesmerizing. As we admire this piece from centuries ago, let us appreciate both its historical significance and artistic brilliance. It serves as a reminder that nature's gifts have always played a vital role in our well-being throughout history.
