EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "French society in the Middle Ages: A handmaid sweeping, 1480" takes us back to a bygone era. The image showcases a scene of domesticity and labor in medieval France. In this miniature painting from the manuscript "De proprietatibus rerum" (Book of the Properties of Things), created by Everard de Espinques in 1480, we see a veiled handmaid diligently sweeping with her broom. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he captures the essence of daily life during this period. The colors used are vibrant and evoke a sense of authenticity, transporting us back to the fifteenth century. This artwork provides valuable insight into French society at that time, shedding light on the roles and responsibilities assigned to women. The woman depicted represents an important aspect of medieval society - hard work and dedication within domestic tasks. Her presence reminds us that while history often focuses on grand events and influential figures, it is also crucial to acknowledge those who played vital roles behind closed doors. Through this photo print, we can appreciate both the artistic skill employed by Everard de Espinques and gain a glimpse into everyday life during the Middle Ages. It serves as a testament to European history and invites viewers to reflect on how societal norms have evolved over time.
