EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing piece of history - an astrology book from the year 1511. The woodcut illustration, taken from Johannes Lichtenberger's renowned astrology text Pronosticatio, transports us back to the early Renaissance era in Venice. The image is rich with symbolism and depicts a variety of characters engaged in different activities. A farmer can be seen diligently digging the soil with a shovel, while a knight stands nearby holding an ax and wearing armor and a helmet. In the background, we catch sight of a serf chopping wood with his halberdier. Amidst this bustling scene, there is also a figure dressed in regal robes who appears to be blessing the work being done by these men. This could possibly represent Christ or even the Pope himself, adding an element of mysticism to this astrological tome. The intricate woodcut technique used in this print adds depth and texture to each character portrayed. It serves as both a historical artifact and an artistic masterpiece that captures the essence of German renaissance art. Whether you are fascinated by astrology or simply appreciate fine craftsmanship from centuries past, this remarkable print offers insight into both medieval farming practices and occult beliefs prevalent during that time period.
