EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Collect basil. Illumination from the trade of medicine and dietetics" takes us back to the 14th century, showcasing a beautiful scene from an ancient manuscript called "Tacuinum sanitatis". The artwork is based on Ibn Butlan's work "Kitabtaqwim as-sihha" highlighting the importance of herbs in medicine during that time. In this image, we see a young girl immersed in her task of picking basil plants in a lush garden. Her delicate hands carefully select each leaf, emphasizing the meticulousness required when working with medicinal herbs. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the artistry of this unknown artist. The significance of agriculture and herbal remedies is evident in this piece. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people understood the healing properties found within nature itself. The aroma emanating from these freshly picked basil leaves must have been intoxicating, evoking feelings of tranquility and well-being. As we admire this snapshot into medieval life, we are reminded of how knowledge has been passed down through generations. This artwork not only showcases botanical expertise but also pays homage to women's roles in gardening and preserving traditional practices. Giancarlo Costa skillfully captures the essence of this historical moment through his lens, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and cultural significance.
