EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the renowned Les Tres Riches Heures de Duc de Berry transports us back in time to the month of March. In the foreground, we are greeted by an ox-drawn wheeled plough, symbolizing the essence of agriculture and viticulture during this season. The meticulous attention to detail showcases a scene where individuals tend to vines, keeping sheep close by as they prepare for the upcoming corn sowing. The significance of this image goes beyond its depiction of farming practices; it also delves into astrology and celestial connections. Pisces and Aries signs of the zodiac are prominently featured, representing the astrological influences that govern this particular month. This fusion between astronomy and agriculture highlights how ancient societies perceived their surroundings through a lens that combined both earthly and celestial elements. Preserved at Musee de Chantilly, this piece not only serves as a visual delight but also offers invaluable insights into historical traditions and beliefs surrounding rural life. It reminds us of our deep-rooted connection with nature's cycles and how they shape our existence. As we admire this remarkable artwork captured by Universal Images Group (UIG), let us appreciate the rich tapestry woven within it - showcasing humanity's harmonious relationship with land, animals, stars, and seasons throughout history.
