EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 15th century manuscript "Treaty on herbs" by Dioscorides, showcasing the production of honey in all its glory. In this intricate miniature illustration, we see a woman tending to bee hives with great care, while the mischievous bees take advantage of the opportunity to sting her face. Meanwhile, a curious bear lurks nearby, attracted by the sweet scent of honey.
The detailed craftsmanship and artistry of this illuminated manuscript page transport us back in time to an era when agriculture and natural history were intertwined with daily life. The image not only highlights the importance of bees and their role in food production but also sheds light on ancient practices related to alternative medicine and botany.
As we admire this black and white masterpiece, we are reminded of the delicate balance between humans and nature, as well as the timeless tradition of beekeeping that has been passed down through generations. This print is a true testament to the beauty and complexity of medieval artistry, offering us a glimpse into a world where bees buzzed freely amidst gothic architecture and lush gardens.
