EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the De Brailes Psalter, an illuminated manuscript dating back to the 13th century. In this particular illustration, we are transported to March, where a man is diligently digging in the earth. The artist, William de Brailes, skillfully portrays the essence of early English agricultural life. The image showcases a male figure engaged in manual labor, symbolizing the importance of hard work and dedication during this time period. As he digs into the ground with his tools, we can almost feel his determination and connection to the land. A farm animal stands nearby as if observing or perhaps waiting for its turn to assist. The illumination technique used in this piece adds depth and vibrancy to every detail. The gothic style roundels surrounding the main scene further enhance its medieval charm. It's fascinating how such intricate artwork was created on vellum - a testament to both artistic talent and craftsmanship. As we admire this historical gem preserved by New College Oxford, it reminds us of our roots in agriculture and how farming has always been an integral part of human civilization. This image serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people relied on their own hands and tools for sustenance. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this moment from history through their fine art reproduction expertise. Through this photo print, we can appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also gain insight into our shared past rooted in agrarian traditions.
