EDITORS COMMENTS
This 13th-century stained glass print, titled "Gemini and May, from the Zodiac Window" takes us on a journey back in time to the majestic Chartres Cathedral in France. The artwork showcases the earthly cycle of the year through its depiction of Gemini, one of the twelve zodiac signs. In this enchanting scene, we witness two noble twins gracefully mounted on their horses. Their regal presence is accentuated by their elegant attire and confident postures. As they ride side by side, it becomes evident that these figures represent Castor and Pollux from ancient mythology. The intricate details of this medieval masterpiece transport us into a world where astrology played a significant role in people's lives. The celestial symbols adorning their garments remind us of humanity's fascination with divination and horoscopes throughout history. Beyond its astrological significance, this artwork also alludes to the labors associated with May - a month symbolizing growth and abundance. It serves as a reminder that even during medieval times, nature's cycles influenced human existence profoundly. With its Gothic charm and meticulous craftsmanship, this stained glass print captures both our imagination and admiration for centuries-old artistry. It stands as an enduring testament to the skillful hands that created it while offering glimpses into humanity's eternal quest for understanding life's mysteries through astrology.
