EDITORS COMMENTS
This xylography print from the 15th century showcases a unique representation of the month of December in a calendar. In this intricate artwork, we see a baker buried in bread, surrounded by loaves and an oven in the background. The scene perfectly captures the essence of this winter month, where warmth and comfort are found in freshly baked goods.
On the right side of the print, we can see the zodiacal signs associated with December: Sagittarius and Capricorn. These symbols add an astrological element to the piece, connecting it to celestial influences that were believed to impact daily life during medieval times.
The craftsmanship displayed in this artwork is truly remarkable, highlighting the skill and dedication of artisans from centuries past. The attention to detail in depicting rural life, agriculture, and traditional crafts like baking is both informative and visually stunning.
As we gaze upon this historical image, we are transported back to a time when work was done by hand with care and precision. It serves as a reminder of our connection to our ancestors who worked tirelessly to provide for themselves and their communities.
Overall, this print is not just a representation of December but also a window into a world filled with tradition, hard work, and creativity that continues to inspire us today.
