EDITORS COMMENTS
The month of January, captured in exquisite detail within the miniatures from Livro de Horas de Dom Manuel, transports us back to a bygone era. This print, attributed to Antonio de Hollanda, offers a glimpse into the daily life and rituals of King Manuel I of Portugal's court during the 16th century. In this particular scene, we witness an intimate family moment as they gather around a crackling fire for warmth and companionship. The cozy ambiance is enhanced by the presence of a loyal dog resting at their feet and a content cat perched on a nearby chair. A mother lovingly tends to her child while another family member wields an axe, perhaps preparing firewood for the hearth. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element tells its own story. From the reflection in the mirror capturing additional activity behind them to the children exploring nature through gardening and planting plants outside - these miniatures encapsulate both domesticity and outdoor pursuits. As winter's chill envelopes their surroundings, this image serves as a reminder of how even amidst cold temperatures, love and familial bonds provide solace. It invites us to appreciate moments of simplicity and find joy in shared experiences. Preserved within Lisbon's National Museum of Ancient Art, this masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless depiction of everyday life centuries ago.
