EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Recovery of Spinach" takes us back to the 14th century, showcasing an exquisite illumination from the book "Tacuinum sanitatis". The artwork is housed in the Biblioteca Nazionale Braidense in Milan, Italy. In this scene, we see a young girl diligently picking spinach leaves with great care and knowledge. This image symbolizes a campaign promoting botanical diet and hygiene during the Middle Ages. Spinach, known for its health benefits, was considered a valuable legume that provided essential nutrients. The unknown artist beautifully captures the peasant girl's connection to nature as she gathers this nutritious green vegetable. Her actions reflect not only her own well-being but also highlight the importance of caring for one's health during medieval times. This artwork reminds us of how ancient societies recognized the significance of proper nutrition and self-care even before modern medicine emerged. It serves as a testament to our enduring quest for good health throughout history. Giancarlo Costa skillfully presents this historical masterpiece through his lens, preserving its beauty and allowing us to appreciate it today. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time, witnessing both the simplicity and complexity of life during the Middle Ages.
