"Les Mois: A Glimpse into Life in the 15th Century" Step back in time to the 15th century with these captivating frescoes depicting "les mois, " or the months of the year. Each artwork offers a unique glimpse into the daily lives and activities of people during this era. In January, we witness a frosty scene as individuals brave the cold weather, bundled up against the biting wind. The air is filled with anticipation for what lies ahead in this new year. Fast forward to June, where noblemen and women take leisurely strolls amidst lush greenery. Their elegant attire reflects their status, while they enjoy each other's company under warm summer skies. A lively snowball fight outside a castle captures our attention next. Laughter fills the air as friends engage in friendly competition, creating memories that will last a lifetime. As August arrives, it brings with it an abundance of harvest. Farmers work tirelessly to gather crops from fields bursting with golden grains and vibrant fruits—a testament to their hard work throughout the year. October showcases grape-pickers diligently pressing grapes for wine production. Their rhythmic movements echo centuries-old traditions passed down through generations—an integral part of autumnal festivities. December reveals men skillfully cutting down trees—preparing for festive celebrations by adorning homes with evergreen beauty. These tree trunks are then transported carefully through wintry landscapes—a symbol of hope and renewal during colder months. September portrays ploughing scenes as farmers prepare fertile soil for future plantings. This labor-intensive task highlights their dedication towards ensuring bountiful yields come harvest time once again. Another depiction of August focuses on life at a farmstead—the heart of agricultural activity during this period. Animals graze peacefully while workers tend to various tasks necessary for sustenance and survival. July introduces us to a couple enjoying moments together—perhaps stealing precious time away from daily responsibilities amidst blossoming romance or long-standing love.
