EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning illustration from "The Book of Simple Medicines" by Mattheaus Platearius, dating back to the 15th century. The artwork, created by Robinet Testard, depicts two exquisite varieties of Artemesia plants in intricate detail. Measuring 26x35.5 cm, this illuminated masterpiece is housed in the National Library of St. Petersburg, Russia. Believed to be part of a medieval manuscript possibly made for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme, these plants were used as remedies for curing malaria sickness during that era. The delicate fern-like leaves and vibrant colors are beautifully captured in this print. With its curative and healing properties symbolized through the depiction of these herbal shrubs, this image transports us back to a time when natural remedies played a significant role in medicine. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people sought solace and relief from ailments using nature's gifts. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry today, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also the historical significance it holds within its brushstrokes. This print invites us into an enchanting world where ancient wisdom meets artistic brilliance - an ode to the power and resilience found in nature's bounty.
