EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Ms 2697 Calendar for the Month of February, a stunning piece from the Heures de Notre Dame collection. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 15th century, this vellum manuscript is currently housed in Bibliotheque Sainte-Genevieve, Paris, France. The image captures the essence of February with its astrological symbol Pisces prominently featured. In this medieval artwork, we witness a scene depicting individuals engaged in various activities associated with this time of year. A figure can be seen pruning and cutting twigs while another gathers them, possibly preparing for winter or tending to their garden. The inclusion of fish as an astrological sign further emphasizes the significance of Pisces during this month. The intricate border surrounding these scenes adds to the overall aesthetic appeal and highlights elements such as collecting faggots – bundles of firewood used for warmth during colder months. Transporting us back to a renaissance era, this photograph offers a glimpse into both medieval astrology and daily life. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people were attuned to nature's cycles and sought guidance from celestial bodies. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this historical artifact through Fine Art Finder without mentioning any commercial use intentions. This allows us to appreciate and admire it solely for its artistic value and cultural significance within our shared human history.
