EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from the Book of Simple Medicines, a medieval manuscript possibly made for Louise of Savoy, wife of Charles of Angouleme. Created by Mattheaus Platearius in the 15th century, this illuminated artwork is attributed to Robinet Testard and measures 26x35.5 cm. The intricate image depicts Anthyrium (Filix femina), commonly known as Lady Fern, a medicinal plant renowned for its curative properties. The delicate fronds and roots are meticulously rendered with vibrant colors and fine details, capturing the essence of this herbal remedy. As we delve into this enchanting piece, we are transported back in time to an era when natural remedies were highly valued for their healing powers. This illustration not only serves as a visual delight but also offers insights into the rich history of medicine. Preserved at the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia, this remarkable artwork evokes a sense of wonder and awe at the skillful craftsmanship displayed by Testard. Its timeless beauty continues to inspire us today as we appreciate both its artistic merit and its significance within the realm of herbal medicine.
